About ZIP Code 43272

ZIP code 43272 serves as a dedicated postal designation for the Main Office Box Room in Columbus, Franklin County, Ohio. The entity name refers to a USPS internal operation for managing PO Box mail at a main post office facility. Such specialized ZIPs allow the postal service to route box mail directly to the appropriate sorting location, bypassing standard carrier delivery systems. This designation has been active for over two decades.

With only 5 ZIP+4 codes on file and no named buildings in postal records, this represents one of the smaller unique ZIP assignments in the Columbus area. The focused mail routing operation handles correspondence destined for post office boxes rather than street addresses. Census demographic data is not available, as this designation serves postal infrastructure rather than a residential or commercial population. Columbus is the valid mailing city for this address.
