寄包裹到美國沒有寫郵遞區號

我從台灣寄包裹到加州給朋友，結果我忘記寫郵遞區號了，朋友說在美國郵遞區號很重要如果沒寫就會收不到是真的嗎? 答: 閣下的朋友說, 美國郵遞區號很重要, 在民生的事務上, 這是事實。或許, 可以這樣說, 在一個成熟的社區中, 一封只寫上姓名和郵遞區號的信, 與一封只寫上姓名和地址的信, 前者能到達收信人的手, 機會大於後者。 可是我街道跟城市的名稱那些都有寫正確，這樣還是收不到嗎? 答: 不完整的信件和包裹, 有被退回的機會。如果由美國本土寄出, 收件者亦在美國國內, 機率更大。 還是只是會比較久而已呢? 答: 縱然, 此包裹不退回, 收到此包裹的日子, 當然是晚很多。

In general, your mail will get to the desination with a couple days delay. Following is the process without post office in handling letter without zip code:

Your piece of mail will probably be sent through a PARS machine in which the OCR software will try to read it from a B&W image taken of it. If it cannot make out the address from "Dallas, TX", it will be sent to a keyer at a "Remote Encoding Center" where it will ask for the the details of the piece to be read by a person manning a computer terminal. That keyer will key "Dal TX" and it will be recognized by the software as "Dallas, TX". It will then be sent from the PD&C it is currently at to a hub or directly on to the Dallas PD&C where it will be processed and sent along. (The information from the keyer will be printed out on a barcode sprayed onto the envelope, telling a scanner down the line where the mail should go.)

It will delay the piece getting to the destination by a couple days, probably a week tops, if everything else was correct.

Unless the keyer keyed it wrong. If the keyer keyed it wrong, they will probably keep doing the job over and over for a couple more years before they are downsized.

If the keyer keyed it right, they will probably be terminated eventually, or go on a shooting spree (the candy, of course), go insane, quit, something or other, b/c the job is incredibly boring, mind numbingly so.

不至於會寄不到. 會寄很久是真的
