Although 80234 does not seem to include any part of Denver/Denver County when mapped, it is often "pops up" as Denver in most searches and sales software (viz enter the Zip Code and the S/W fills in the City/State).
It seems to be bounded



It covers


Denver is bounded by:

  • North - roughly 52nd street (west of I25)

So, since 104th is about 50 blocks away from 52nd, 80234 does not seem to overlap with any part of Denver.


This has caused some issues with buying firearms accessories and services.
a) Some suppliers won't ship mags > 10 rds to this ZipCode
(Actually some told me they won't ship to Colorado because of not being sure what were Colorado laws and which were Denver laws)
b) Centuury Arms would not return my rifle to me directly (they wanted to send it to an FFL outside of 80234) after I sent it to them for repair because I sent in a 30rd mag with it (they required it to be sent in with a mag for testing).

I tried sending a copy of my DL and County Tax Statement to them to prove I was not in Denver...it didn't work.

When I asked the Post Office, they said since 80234 covers a bunch of Denver suburbs, it is called "Denver" to make it simple.

Has anyone else had these problems?
If so, how have you worked around them?
