zip code for South Africa?

[Mongoose!]

I want to order from a foreign source and using DHL (to avoid the pathetic post office in the equation)

Now the supplier ask for a zip code

According to me South Africa don’t work on zip codes like America?

The destination city will be Bloemfontein

I said 9300 (the normal postal code) , but it appears to be incorrect

What zip code should I supply – and what code do you give for your DHL parcels to South Africa

Thanks!

Our postal codes are the equivalent of the US zip codes so 9300 will be correct

try the suburb postal code e.g. Universitas - 9321

just an aside there is a US bike shop whose website has a seriously powerful zip code calculator, I fill in 7405 without indicating any country or city and it spits out a handful of destinations around the world that uses that same code and you just click on the applicable destination and then it gives you the shipping price.It must have every possible destination in the entire worlsd on one database.
