70199

70199 is a United States ZIP Code used by the United States Postal Service. It is designated as a non-geographic ZIP code for post office box (PO Box) service and does not correspond to a typical street delivery area. The ZIP is associated with New Orleans, Louisiana, and is used for mail addressed to PO Boxes located at a major postal facility serving the city. Non-geographic ZIP codes like 70199 help USPS route mail efficiently to boxholders who rent boxes at large urban post offices.

For recipients, having a PO Box ZIP code means that street addresses may use nearby geographic ZIPs for day-to-day mail delivery, while 70199 specifically identifies mail intended for boxholders in the facility. The code is primarily an administrative tool within the USPS system and is encountered mainly by postal customers who lease PO Boxes, as well as by mailers who use address formatting guidelines that include PO Box ZIPs.

The ZIP Code system, introduced in 1963, organizes mail by region and delivery type. Non-geographic PO Box codes are common in larger cities and can be observed alongside geographic ZIPs that cover neighborhoods. 70199 is one such example in Louisiana.

Exact facility boundaries and box assignments can change, and USPS maintains official records and lookup tools for the most current information.
