Strikes me that a NAME and a zip+4 should get a piece of mail delivered to its intended destination. Otherwise, WHY use these NUMBERS at all???

I am with you on this. I had an argument on a piece of mail that came back from the Wolfeboro PO. We had addressed something every month to Center Wolfeboro for years. It also had a PO box. Suddenly one day, it came back. BTW it was the address given to us by the person. The PO said they didn't know where Center Wolfeboro was. My argument was theoretically if you have a po box and a zip, it should get delivered. The postmaster did agree with me.
