Subject: Re: ZIPCODES!!!!! by Calm on 2011/1/8 21:56:13 Hey Andy, Even though I'm in Canada I normally use the nearest U.S. zip code. 98295 (Sumas, Wa.) is 12 mins from my house. I always use that for a US shipping address. I imagine US zips cover a large population area. Canadian postal Codes cover VERY few people. For instance my postal code only represents SEVEN homes on my street! And I'm in the middle of thousands of homes (not rural). I might suggest that other Canucks do their postal code (for your purposes) by replacing the last three number/letters with 'XXX'. That way it won't be so specific (one of 5 or 10 houses) rather it would place you within, say, a five mile radius. Mine would look like this: "V2S XXX". |
