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.

Marc or Rene: Small layout contest mailing zip code ?
Posted by vsmith on Monday, June 29, 2015 9:04 PM

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. Bang Head

So my question is:

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

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.Sigh

   Have fun with your trains
