I don't get why they say it's their Long Island City location.

everything on that strip of northern Blvd calls itself long island city. I don't know who's wrong, but it seems like one side of the street is Sunnyside, one side is Astoria, and the road itself is woodside.

I believe Astoria is also technically part of "long Island City'

I think it has something to do to how mail was delivered in queens before it became part of NYC. Flushing is another one that it both a 'town' and a large area encompassing other towns (like I think jamaica).

I think zip codes starts with 113 have mails come from one central flushing location. So bayside, fresh meadows, and others

It is, but Jackson Heights address is Flushing. Queens addresses are wonky and the H mart is definitely not in Lic

Queens used to be LIC Elmhurst and Flushing before being a borough

Because even 36th street is officially Long Island City on your mail address
