LDU stands for Local delivery unit, a Canadian province and territory abbreviation.

Last three characters of a Canadian postal code, digit-letter-digit, as in the 0B1 of K1A 0B1. Combined with the forward sortation area, it can pinpoint a single building, a side of a city block or a large-volume mail receiver.

Example: The LDU narrows the FSA down to one side of the street in many urban areas.

Usage notes

Rural LDUs may cover a whole community, while urban ones often cover a single high-rise. Together, the FSA and LDU form a six-character code, written with a space in the middle.
