Zip codes don't have as much information as a postcode, but here are three important things to know to get along with them:

1. They stand for post offices, not final destinations. Each post office in the US has a number.

2. They run east to west; low numbers are on the east coast and high numbers are on the west coast. (10000, the first zip code, is in New York.)

3. If you type a zip code into Google, you get a link which will show you a map of the town and its name.

Canadian postal codes, though, are Just Completely Weird.

I was slightly wrong, btw: some places in New England have zips beginning with a zero.
