In the US Postal System, a delivery point is a specific set of digits between 00 and 99 assigned to every address. Combined with the ZIP + 4 code, the delivery point provides a unique identifier for every deliverable address served by the USPS. The ZIP code is the system of Postal codes used by the United States Postal Service (USPS
The delivery point is almost never printed on mail in human-readable form; instead it is encoded in the POSTNET delivery point barcode (DPBC). ENCODE (the ENC yclopedia O f D NA E lements is a public research consortium launched by the US National Human Genome Research Institute ( NHGRI Example The above-mentioned example of 55555-1237 yields Sum is 38 The check digit is therefore 2 The data encoded will The DPBC makes automated mail sorting possible, including ordering the mail according to how the the carrier delivers it (walk sequence).
The two-digit delivery point number is combined with an additional check digit in the DPBC. A check digit is a form of Redundancy check used for Error detection, the decimal equivalent of a binary Checksum. This digit is used by Barcode Sorters (BCS) to check if the ZIP, ZIP + 4, or Delivery Point ZIP codes contain an error. In a database, storing the ZIP + 4 code in a 10 character field (with the hyphen) allows easy output in the address block, and storing the check digit in a 3-digit field (instead of calculating it) can allow you to check if the ZIP code and delivery point have been changed independently. In order to receive the appropriate barcode discount, the delivery point digits and the sub-ZIP (the "+ 4" part) should always be verified using an up-to-date, CASS-certified program
Since each city block or section of a rural route has a different sub-ZIP, and address numbers generally increase by 100 per block, the delivery point is typically the last two digits of the address.
