If more than 143,000 blue collection boxes currently in use by the US Postal Service were placed side-by-side, they would stretch for 59 miles.

About those blue collection boxes…

They weren’t always blue. Before standardization in 1971, they could have been green, red, white or other colors.

Quick! What’s that ZIP Code?

There are nearly 42,000 ZIP Codes in the country. They range from 00501, belonging to the Internal Revenue Service in Holtsville, NY, to 99950 in Ketchikan, AK.

Easiest to remember? How about 12345, a unique ZIP Code for General Electric in Schenectady, NY.

The Zone Improvement Plan — ZIP — was introduced in 1963. The first number represents a general geographic area of the nation, such as “0” in the East moving to “9” in the West. The next two numbers are for regional areas and the final two are for specific Post Offices.

Remember when Netflix used to be a DVD-by-mail company? Well, for 2.7 million subscribers in the US, it still is.

The familiar red envelopes have been arriving in customers’ mailboxes since 1998 and helped earn the company a healthy $212 million profit last year.

Why are so many people still using this old-school service in the age of streaming?

Streaming Netflix video requires a lot of bandwidth — so much so that Netflix consumes 15% of all US internet bandwidth, according to a 2018 industry report.

But many rural areas of the country remain without broadband access. The Federal Communications Commission estimates 24 million Americans fall on the wrong side of this digital divide.

The US Postal Service, however, can reach every ZIP code with those red envelopes.
