Is that a ZIP code that maps to one specific building, or is it really a valid post address, matching any valid speicification, rules and laws?
In Austria we also have Buildings that have a 4-digit ZIP code. But it's not a valid address, because a valid address needs a city, street and house number. "5222 Ach 0" has it all ;)
- Symbiote 4y agoIt is a post code for a specific building/business, and it is therefore also a valid address. It will work. However, it is not the recommended address, which is: Royal Mail Sheffield Delivery Office Pond Street Sheffield S1 1AA For large businesses to get discounted posting rates they must use the recommended address, presumably the redundancy makes for more reliable OCR and less effort for the postman at the point of delivery. It's fairly common to use the abbreviated addresses when handwriting a return address.
