Hi,
I'm trying to send a Fedex to Korea, but the online form doesn't recognize the characters.

Can someone help me by translating the address into English letters so I can ship this out?

Thank you so much!!!!

대구시 동구 신천3동 276-7번지 (1층) 탁 순애

To get the ZIP Code, just go to www.koreapost.go.kr then click on English and then ZIP Code Finder.

Here is what Korea Post has for the address you gave in the OP (I rearranged the elements; see comment below):

Sun-ae Tak, 1st Floor, 276-7 Sincheon 3 Dong, Dong-gu, Daegu 701-823, South Korea

Remember that even when using Korean postal services, you should reorder the elements of the address in "Western" style if you write it in Roman characters. You should also include a phone number. Since you're sending it via FedEx, there is already a field on the addressing document for phone number; however, if you were sending it regular post, the best place to put the contact phone number would by next to the recipient's name.

In the address you provided, Sun-ae Tak would be the recipient, 1st Floor, 276-7 Sincheon 3 Dong is the street address, Dong-gu is the city, and Daegu is the state/province.

The above describes the method I've been getting my mail via FedEx, DHL, and regular post, over the last 3 years.
