This isn't "legal," but I thought it was handy enough to draw to the
attention of law-lib colleagues:
I had a reference question asking about postal rates to Canada (as of last
July 46 cents for a half ounce letter), which led me to the U.S. Postal
Service web page, http://www.usps.gov/. Choose "Your Post Office" to
"Look up ZIP+4 codes and get addressing tips, get information on the
latest postal rates and products, and check out other useful consumer
information."
I especially like the service for looking up ZIP+4 codes
(http://www.usps.gov/ncsc/lookups/lookup_zip+4.html). You fill in what
you know of an address, and the system comes back with the standardized
form (e.g., "3RD AVE NE" not "Third Avenue Northeast") and the ZIP+4
code.
The site also includes some fun stuff (e.g., news releases for new stamps
and a history of the Postal Service).
