Write a postal code

The purpose of writing postal code is to deliver the letter to the recipient quickly and accurately. So: first of all, you must write the postal code correctly according to the mailing address, and you must not write it casually. Secondly, letters should be sent in envelopes that meet national standards, and filled in one by one from left to right with a blue or black pen, ballpoint pen or brush according to the font on the seal. Handwriting should be neat, not off-line, not Lian Bi, not altered or damaged. Third, don't just write the short code of the county and city, but write "full code", that is, write the postal code of the delivery office where the recipient is located.

Why use postal code?

Postal code is one of the main means of postal communication modernization in China and an important measure to speed up mail delivery. The standardization of mail collection and sender's address writing is the basic condition to ensure the safe and rapid delivery of mail. However, as China is a multi-ethnic country with complicated characters and place names, it is difficult to standardize the address only by using Chinese characters. Even if it is written clearly and in detail, it is difficult for machines to recognize it at present. Therefore, the implementation of postal code is the only way to standardize the writing of mail addresses in China. The implementation of postal code has the following advantages: (1) can speed up mail delivery. Manual reading of Chinese addresses can only sort about 2,000 letters an hour, and machine reading of codes can increase the sorting to 20,000 to 40,000 letters an hour. (2) It can improve the accuracy of mail delivery. The place names in China are complicated, and there are many names with the same names. It is easy to distinguish Chinese characters. Export letters only look at the first three yards, while import letters only look at the last two yards, which not only saves eyesight, but also reduces errors. (3) It can reduce "blind letter". If the address is unclear, it will often be sent out and returned, forming a "blind letter." If you can use postal code, you can narrow the search scope to a delivery area to minimize "blind letter".

Under what circumstances does the postal enterprise not bear the liability for compensation?

(2) The mail is lost or delayed due to the user's responsibility or the items sent. (3) Loss of other vouched mail except remittance and insured mail due to force majeure. (4) The user has not inquired and claimed for compensation within one year from the date of mailing or remittance. (5) The loss of the vouched mail is caused by the responsibility of the receiving and dispatching personnel of the unit where the recipient works. 6. All kinds of mails have been delivered properly according to the prescribed procedures, and the recipients later found that the contents were short or damaged.

Why is it forbidden and restricted to deliver goods?

Users must abide by the regulations prohibiting and restricting articles when delivering mail. The significance of stipulating prohibited articles: first, it can prevent criminals from using postal channels to deliver illegal articles; Second, it can ensure the safety of other emails and prevent burning and explosion accidents; Three, in order to maintain public health, protect the health of postal staff, to avoid damage to other mail.
