| 575968 | 2007-08-03 00:15:00 | i told a friend from the usa my address,but i forgot to tell him my suburb. He snail mailed me using my mailbox number,street name,city(auckland) and those new nzpost post codes,BUT he forgot to put my suburb. Will the snail mail still get to me? | lance4k (4644) | ||
| 575969 | 2007-08-03 00:21:00 | Yes. | Metla (12) | ||
| 575970 | 2007-08-03 00:49:00 | Yes. The post code will identify where you are. | somebody (208) | ||
| 575971 | 2007-08-03 02:46:00 | The street number and name and the city should reach you if it reaches NZ. Someone once realised he was well known when a letter from another country reached him with only his name on the envelope. I forget who that was. It wasn't Paris Hilton; it was someone who had achieved things rather than just being notorious. |

| 575973 | 2007-08-03 03:28:00 | It was someone internationally known. Someone like Bertrand Russsell or Albert Einstein, or Carl Sagan. ;) | Graham L (2) | ||
| 575974 | 2007-08-03 03:45:00 | Oh, I thought you meant an internationally-known NZer. So opting out of "whole world" guesses. |

| 575975 | 2007-08-03 03:53:00 | I suspect that most "internationally known NZers " are known by fewer people internationally than NZers believe. ;) The world's a big place, with a lot of people. | Graham L (2) | ||
| 575976 | 2007-08-03 03:58:00 | I get mail just addressed to my 5+4 zip code....we used to call it "SuperZip", but they decided it wasn't. 92582-1140 Does that make me famous-er? I bet I could send something to "Metla" and get it delivered though! |

| 575977 | 2007-08-03 04:15:00 | The ZIP code is an exact address, down to the subunit of the street address . That was not "you" as the addressee; it was the letterbox . You have an internationally famous (or at least findable) letterbox, Joe . |
