We live within the city limits of Columbus, Ohio - but our zip code is for a suburb, Reynoldsburg, Ohio. When we moved here, we sent out all the change of address forms (after checking with the post office) for Columbus, Ohio. We were assured that as long as the zip code was correct, it wouldn't matter. So the post office began RETURNING our mail, because there was no street with our name in Columbus, and the idiots didn't have enough sense to LOOK at the mail. So even though we live in Columbus, Ohio we MUST put Reynoldsburg, Ohio in our address, or our mail will not be delivered. Karen Summers-Horton
