The USPS established ZIP code 56965 for Parcel Return Services in February 2010. PRS remains the Postal Service's primary reverse logistics offering, designed to simplify merchandise returns for both retailers and consumers. Merchants provide prepaid return labels, customers drop packages into the postal stream, and consolidators eventually retrieve items from designated USPS facilities for final delivery back to the merchant.
This ZIP code operates outside the normal delivery network. There are no addresses, no mail routes, and no population counts because this designation exists solely as a PRS routing identifier. The program requires participating merchants to hold negotiated service agreements and pay annual permit fees. Packages to this code should list Parcel Return Service or PRS as the city.
ZIP Code 56965 is assigned to a single organization or institution. Detailed business demographics are not published for unique ZIP Codes.
