Details

Currently the free downloads of the Zipcodes DO NOT include location data i.e. coordinates and boundaries of the Zip-code areas.

Direct link to download the data without coordinates (ftp://ftp2.itella.com/) requires a HTTP username and password. Itella is a northern European business services and logistics firm (see www.itella.com). Coordinate data can be purchased from elsewhere.
