What is the zip code for Australia An American company keeps asking me for zip code and won't accept the Australian postcode?

Australia uses a system of "Post Codes" consisting of 4 numeric characters.

I do not expect that Australia Post will change the system it has been using for over 40 years to accommodate the inadequacies of a foreign corporate computer system.

You might suggest that they insert a zero "0" in front of the four Post Code digits.

Where in Scotland is the postcode TD?

The letters TD represent TeviotDale, comprising the Galashiels postcode area, traditionally Selkirkshire, and much of Berwickshire. Most of the area is in the south east of Scotland but some is in the north east of England.

Use of' TeviotDale', which dates to a time when the border was mobile, and even irrelevant neatly sidesteps cross-border sensitivity among people whose rivalry with each other is generally subsidiary to their hostility to parochial outsiders.

To further complicate things, TweedDale is the name for the area divided into Selkirkshire and Peeblesshire when that anglicised naming convention was imposed in 1889. So the good people of Gala probably are placated to believe the TD is TweedDale, whereas in Earlston or Kelso (Berwickshire) those people are happy to be in Teviotdale.
