Many of us Guilderland residents are in the 12303 zip code, which the Post Office for is in a different county and city ( Schenectady ). It is very inconvenient to have to drive up to 8 miles to get to the Schenectady 12303 Post Office to pick up a packages when there are multiple Post Offices in the town of Guilderland that are closer (12084, 12085, 12009). Another problem with having this Schenectady zip code is that when you give someone your address they think that you live in Schenectady which also contains streets with the same names as those in Guilderland, Morningside is one of those. This makes it confusing for those postal companies delivering to that address. At the very least I would be nice to have the zip code changed for the 12303 part of Guilderland to remedy this problem even if the mail still comes from Schenectady . Most computer systems go by zip code and don’t like it when you put in Guilderland and 12303. The residents in this area would also like to have a zip that accurately reflects the actual town we live in.

Getting a new Post office for western Guilderland, or even getting service from the Guilderland 12084 Post Office off New Karner Rd. (Rt.155) expanded will be difficult to achieve. In the mean time there is another solution. Allowing that name Guilderland to be used with the 12303 zip code.

"A compromise solution that does not involve changing USPS delivery structure is to allow customers to use an alternative city name in the last line of their address, while not changing the ZIP Code. For example, the rapidly growing city of Windsor Heights, IA, still lacks its own post office, but USPS sorting machines will accept the use of “Windsor Heights, IA, 50311” rather than requiring that customers in that area use “Des Moines, IA 50311,” which is where their post office is located. USPS will also accept Windsor Heights as a valid city name for ZIP Codes 50312 and 50322 — post offices in Des Moines and Urbandale, respectively, that deliver the rest of the mail to Windsor Heights residents.13 When a large portion of the mail was sorted manually, this option could have caused mis-sorting and delayed mail, but today almost all mail is sorted by computer. It should be noted that this alternative can help ameliorate community identity issues, but not issues arising from use of ZIP Codes for demographic “redlining.”" -USPS
