DG3 4BQ is a postal code used within the United Kingdom for delivering mail.

Postcodes are made up of two parts. The part before the space (DG3) is called the outward code. The part after the space (4BQ) 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 DG which means Dumfries and Galloway.
Postal District. In our case DG3.

Postcode Unit. The last two letters. In our case BQ.

The regional mail center for the post area DG is the North West Distribution Centre, which is located at Mill Lane, Winwick Quay, WARRINGTON, WA2 8RJ.
