G83 8RT is a postal code used within the United Kingdom for delivering mail.

Postcodes are made up of two parts. The part before the space (G83) is called the outward code. The part after the space (8RT) 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 G which means Glasgow.
Postal District. In our case G83.
Postal Sector. In our case G83 8.
Postcode Unit. The last two letters. In our case RT.

The regional mail center for the post area G is the Scottish Distribution Centre, which is located at Canyon Road, Excelsior Park, Netherton Industrial Est, WISHAW, ML2 0XX.

The final port of call for any post addressed to the G83 8RT postcode is the local delivery office (DO) which is . Here the post will be sorted ready for delivery.

G83 8RT is within the village of Gartocharn.
