My deskmate just had to explain to our remote coworker that “GU” in a postal address as the state means Guam, and therefore the package can go via regular mail because Guam is a US territory.
He had never heard of Guam and was certain GU had to mean Guatemala, and could not therefore understand how the US Postal Service could deliver to it.
(FYI the US Postal Service can be used to send packages anywhere, it’s just more expensive if they’re not US territories.)
