It contains such addresses that receive mails and other shipments at that physical location. In other words, if the parcel can be delivered directly to somebody\u2019s home (at the front door), its address will get &#8220;S&#8221; classification from USPS (what means &#8220;Standard&#8221; category).<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>All usual addresses where people live mostly meet this qualification.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2>Military ZIP codes<\/h2>\n<p>Military ZIP codes belong to American military bases, including those which are situated overseas.

It has the &#8220;P&#8221; classification, the main feature of which is that mail is not delivered right to your doorstep but to the post office.
