@xssfox @AnOldGuy Part of the problem with post codes is that a few of them are precise enough to constitute a complete address in and of themselves. I believe that some have been sold (or leased) to corporations so it’s possible to address letters to:

{Name

{Post code}

…and have the letter be delivered successfully.

@xssfox @AnOldGuy @arcadiagt5 I lived in a small town in Nebraska, US where a letter addressed just to me with the city, state and post code got to me because the local post office just knew where to find me.

@ingalls @xssfox @AnOldGuy there’s probably a number of small towns/ rural areas in Oz where that would work too but in this case I was referring to something like “ALCOA” at the post code owned by / assigned to that company being a valid address in and of itself.

Some post offices, I know about the US post and the hungarian post has/had a division which worked on delivering the non-standard addressed mail.

There is a legend of a mail addressed to "Hunyadi 2" which went through 50+ post offices where there was a Hunyadi road, square, alley, place, terrace, etc. then returned to the sender.
