I believe 1800 numbers cannot be used internationally, so I don't
use the ISD codes, that OSM requests, with these.<br>

Typically for those companies in DE, there is an additional
physical address which has a different postcode for the
street address, which is regularly tagged on the physical
location.<br>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
recently I came across postal codes in POI addresses,
which aren't the classic scheme addr:postcode &
addr:city & addr:street & addr:housenumber.
However it is a special postcode that is assigned to
recipients that receive a big amount of post every day,
typically big companies or authorities. This kind of
postcode is used only together with addr:city and does not
require street and housenumber. So to say the post company
has a big sack for post to that special postcode, puts in
all the letters that are addressed to it and delivers the
sack to the recipient.<br>
After some discussion in the german user forum <a
href="https://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=60421"
rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">https://forum.openstreetmap.or<wbr>g/viewtopic.php?id=60421</a>
I want to propose a tag for this kind of postcode and
would like to discuss it here in the tagging mailing list.<br>
<br>
The proposal is: addr:postcode_major_recipient<br>
<br>
It should be used on POIs, because it is an attribute of
the company, authority or whatever, but not as an address
of a building, because it is not assigned to such
directly. Target is to have a separate tag for this kind
of postcode to avoid a mix-up with the normal
addr:postcode.<br>
<br>
As I am not a native British English speaker, I have asked
one and consulted the english page of the Deutsche Post.

rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.postdirekt.de/plzs<wbr>erver/PlzSearchServlet?lang=<wbr>en_GB</a>
-> goto More -> Find major recipient<br>
<br>
Probably similar kinds of postcodes exist also in other
post companies in other countries, so inputs about that
are welcome.<br>
<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Rainer<br>
