CO3 0SH is a postal code used within the United Kingdom for delivering mail.

Postcodes are made up of two parts. The part before the space (CO3) is called the outward code. The part after the space (0SH) is called the inward code. The letters C, I, K, M, O and V are not allowed in the inward code. In addition to the inward and outward code, the postcode can be broken up into four parts:

Postal Area. In our case CO which means Colchester.
Postal District. In our case CO3.
Postal Sector. In our case CO3 4.
Postcode Unit. The last two letters. In our case SH.

The regional mail center for the post area CO is the Princess Royal Distribution Centre, which is located at Blackmore Drive, North Circular, LONDON , NW10 7RH.

The final port of call for any post addressed to the CO3 0SH postcode is the local delivery office (DO) which is COLCHESTER DO. Here the post will be sorted ready for delivery.

The properties in the CO3 0SH postcode have the street address of Maldon Road
