Geocoding API (V3) unable to return correct results for some US postal codes

Question

1. https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?components=postal_code:01133&sensor=false Expected - return results for country=US, "formatted_address" : "Springfield.."
   Actual - returns results for country=LT, "formatted_address" : "Vilnius 01133, Lithuania"

2. https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?components=postal_code:07477&sensor=false Expected - return results for country=US, "formatted_address" : "Wayne, New Jersey.."
   Actual - NO_RESULTS

What needs to be done to query by US postal code and get US address components in response?

Answer 1

1. I would expect Vilnius AND Sao Paulo because both have 01133 (Postal Codes are NOT unique)
2. Yeah, that's a Google Problem, because 07470 is the "main" postal code for Wayne, NJ
