What do Postal Code Overrides help with in terms of package sorting?

• A. They help sort packages to the correct work area but may not give a unique SID.
• B. They override recipient addresses
• C. They assign new ZIP codes
• D. They guarantee a unique SID for every package

Answer: (A)

Postal Code Overrides adjust how the ZIP code is interpreted by the sorting system to send a package to the correct work area. They act as routing aids, not as changes to the actual recipient address, and they don’t assign new ZIP codes. Because the override helps with where a package goes, not its unique identity, it doesn’t guarantee a unique Sort/Shipment ID for every package—multiple items can share the same overridden ZIP while still being routed through the same work area.
