Postal codes are important for not only the physical sending and receiving of parcels or letters but also for the digital world.

Postal Services by Postal Corporation of Kenya
A postal service is a system used to send mail from one place to another. The service has revolutionized over the years from basic letter sending and receipt to include more wholesome and contemporary services to clients. These days, there are fewer deliveries made via post offices thanks to electronic mail and delivery apps. With these changes, post offices have had to adapt to the new environment and offer updated services.
