Sri Lanka

Q: In what language are the data and documentation provided?

The dataset is provided in English (Romanized script). All place names, including Districts (e.g., "Kandy", "Jaffna") and Localities (e.g., "Achchuvely", "Ahangama"), are listed in standard Latin characters, making them immediately usable for international logistics without translation.

Q: How is the 'district' column formatted?

The district column primarily contains the full name of the administrative district (e.g., "Puttalam", "Badulla").
Note on Abbreviations: You may occasionally encounter standard abbreviations for certain districts in the data, such as "AR" for the Ampara district. Your system should be prepared to handle both full names and standard codes in this column.

Q: Does the dataset cover specific street addresses?

No. Sri Lanka uses a locality/post office-based postal system. The postal code (e.g., 40150) is assigned to a specific town, village, or post office (listed in the locality column). It does not resolve to individual street names or house numbers.

Q: What is the format of the postal code?

Sri Lanka uses a 5-digit numeric postal code (e.g., 32006, 80650). This is found in the postcode column. The first two digits typically route mail to the correct district or province distribution center.

Q: What file formats are included in the delivery?

The package includes CSV, Excel (.xlsx), and TXT formats. All files are encoded in UTF-8, ensuring compatibility with all major database systems.

Q: Is this a one-time purchase or a subscription?

This is a one-time purchase. The license grants perpetual use for personal and internal business purposes.

Q: What is the refund policy?

Due to the digital nature of the product, all sales are final and non-refundable. We recommend downloading the Free Sample before purchasing.
