The other day I was training a client who lives at North Shore Towers on the Queens / Nassau border and he went to the United States Post Office website to look up a zip code. If you find yourself going to the United States Post Office website to find a zip code of an address there is a better way that will save you time. The next time you are trying to find the zip code for an address try using Google Maps or Bing Maps instead. Type in the address in the address bar and the full address including the zip code will appear in the left hand corner. Bing Maps will also give you the longitude and latitude readings as well.
The United States Post Office website requires you to enter the street address on one line and the city on another line. You then select the state from a drop down menu that contains all the states. Using Google Maps or Bing Maps is a good time saver especially if you are looking up the zip code for several addresses. It also is very easy to get a zip code for an address in either the phone book or calendar of my Android smartphone.
While we are on the subject of the post office website, many people have Google as their homepage. If you need to track a package or letter don’t go to the post office website or Fedex. In the Google search bar type the tracking number and the status will show.
