I found this interesting. Simply by knowing the number ZIP Code, you can pretty good idea of what part of the country it is in.

Zip codes are sequential moving east to right

06520 = New Haven CT
90210 = Beverly Hills

If you know the 4 digit extension, then street address is unnecessary because post office sorts by zip code first, 4 digit extension is the building (house, apartment, etc)

4 digit extension also accelerates delivery time by at least 24 hours, usually 48 hours, sometimes 3 days

That's cool. It is always a challenge for me when visiting the US and the gas pumps ask for a zip code. At least I have one number now. Haha

90210 the only zip code I know.

Haha.

I did know the zip code when we were in Texas for a couple months but every other time I was in US I used 90210.

Apparently for international credit cards it doesn’t matter what zip code you use. I think I have only had a problem once. If you are using a US card you have to use the same zip code as the account address.
