Why we built it
Postal codes are a small detail that cause real problems when they are wrong: parcels sent to the wrong depot, forms rejected, deliveries delayed. Most code lists online are hard to search and harder to read on a phone. We wanted a clean, quick site that answers the question in seconds.
Where our data comes from
The suburb list follows the South African Post Office postal code listing, and map positions come from GeoNames. Read more on our data sources page. ZarPostalCodes is independent and not affiliated with the South African Post Office.
