This is why we have postcodes.

More concretely, a postcode is usually specific to between 7 and 30 dwellings, in the usual case it's about 15 houses.

Contrary to common belief, they're not always on the same street, but in the vast majority of cases (like maybe 99%) house number + postcode is sufficient. Definitely flat number + building name/number + postcode should get your stuff there.



Yeah, the google maps address thing just overwrites my post code, and some senders in the US don’t appear to pay attention to that.
