@xssfox Another one is "You know which postcodes currently exist" and "You can map an address to its current postcode".

We got moved to a new one almost two years ago now, and I still get it "corrected" by sites.

We had some customers that their actual post codes or suburb were not recognised by couriers as couiers software was behind. Required both Suburb and Post code to match their system.

Endless frustration for the warehouse guys.

@ChlorideCull @xssfox hey, that company paid for that database, and it certainly isn't going to spring for the updates...
My street address is a little odd, has an apostrophe, and it gets 'corrected' in weird ways. In particular, Google drops everything from the apostrophe on back.

The Essence of Woerm Sin

@ChlorideCull @xssfox we moved house 18 months ago; our postcode ends with NY but quite a lot of websites think it should be AT.
