ZIP Codes are postal codes used by the US Postal Service (USPS) to deliver mail. Although the majority of ZIP Codes do not change, the USPS can reallocate, add, or remove ZIP Codes to efficiently plan better delivery routes for quicker mail delivery. Periodically throughout the year, CVSuite will sync our ZIP Codes with the latest ZIP Codes from the USPS and EMSI. Some users may have ZIP Codes as part of their permissions and existing regions that are no longer supported by the USPS. When CVSuite updates our ZIP Code region, we will automatically remove the unsupported and invalid ZIP Codes from your account and notify you which ZIP Codes were removed.
