Does anyone actually use the nine digit zip codes in personal life?
I just had to enter the full nine digit code for billing purposes and had to go look it up online--I had no clue what the plus part of "Zip+" is where I live.

And, honestly...I've already forgotten it again. So I can't even say I learned something new today.

4. Every chance I get!
When we moved here 11 years ago, the first time we got a piece of mail with the Zip+4 on it, I memorized it and have used it ever since. Same for any family member's Zip+4 or any business. I love it.

Did you know that you can use it in place of the rest of the address, other than the person's name? Try it sometime :)

6. Yes, if I know it...
I know my own but I can't remember it for other people's addresses. However, when I am mailing something I'll look it up. I heard it will make the mail move faster so I'm paranoid about not using it. It's irrational I know. :)

8. I do. I look them up. It helps the sorting process on the receiving end.
