- NicuCalcea 7mo agoThat assumes the existence of a reliable, free postcode API of all addresses on the planet. I did a very brief search, and none of the commercial offerings I could test recognised the postcode of the Eastern European neighbourhood I was born in. Also, like half of African countries don't have postcodes. It's just not a good system.

- thrance 7mo agoFrance also uses 5-digits zip codes, and many other countries too I'd wager.
