USPS.com Click-N-Ship to UK

I used this service for the first time today to send a pin to the UK. You cannot enter the postal code manually, but instead you must select from a list of postal codes after you select the city and province. All the options were 4 characters, but in my experience all UK codes were 6 characters usually like A12 3BC. Are those last two characters like the four digit extended zip codes we have in the US? Will they still be able to find where the package goes with the shorter code?

Uk postcodes are between 6-8 characters long and you have to get the whole thing right for it to be delivered. (As far as I am aware) But sometimes the post people (LOL) can work it out from the address and add it on for you (I hope that helps a little) x

Yes to what rainbow bubbles said , they are usually 6-8 long and it needs the whole code

You don't necissarily need a post code - it will get there eventually it just might take a bit longer. As long as you have the first half of the post code (for example mine is MK18 7EX, as long as you've got the MK18 they will know what region it is in and then they can use the rest of the address to get it to the exact place)

Hope this helped

Can you add to the label after it's printed?

Sorry I didn't reply to your pm sooner (time difference) it's best to have the full post code

I ended up just writing the full postal code in pen.
