When I was an undergraduate mail to "tzs, 1-59, 91126" would have probably got to me.

91126 was the zip code for Caltech undergraduate housing, which would have been sufficient to get the letter to the Caltech post office. The Caltech post office would have recognized 1-59 as the building code for Ricketts House and put it in the bundle of mail for Ricketts. The carrier there would have put it in the "T" box in the mailbox array in Ricketts lounge.



Lived in a house that had its own postal code in the country it was in. Tried sending a letter to the postal code, It didn’t make it :(


In the US that generally works. I write my return address that way (for the few letters I send any more)


LAME AF


Those dedicated zip codes are increasingly rare but def a hidden superpower you wielded appropriately
