Marc or Rene: Small layout contest mailing zip code ?

[vsmith]

I dropped my entry package off at the PO today, followed the address instructions and used the provided zip code 80224, to my chagrin after waiting 1/2 hour in line, the worker after looking at his screen,changed the zip code to 80246-0222. I asked for an explaination as to why did he changed it his reply was "sometimes they change the zip" huh? to which I replied "But I got that direct from the company I'm mailing this to" and expressed a concern that it may get delayed or not get there at all. He shrugged and directed me to the customer service website on the receipt.

So my question is:

What is the zip code for the contest entries, 80224 or 80246 

I have tracking on the package so I'm hoping it will find its way there but I'm very irritated with the USPS right now for a seemingly random change which may delay delivery, which was why I paid extra to have it delivered quickly in the first place.

Vic,

 

I apologize for the confusion. The ZIP code should indeed be 80246! (The other ZIP is for Marc's home address. I posted the rules as given and did not notice the error.)

However, we have received other entries with the incorrect ZIP . . .

I have a phone call in to Marc, and since this was our error, we will accept your entry if it doesn't arrive on time.

Again, I apologize for the confusion.

 

PS I have edited the ZIP code in the rules.

Thanks Rene for clearing that up, Uh oh that means I gave my postal worker the stink eye for nothing LOL

Well, you did say you waited a half hour in line. . so the stink eye applies there.
