P.O. Box Addresses: Shipping Info & Exemptions

[Liquid Sky]

I know PC does not ship to P.O. Box addresses.....BUT....what about something like this.....

P.O. Box 123
1234 N. Numbers Street
City, Ney York 12345

This essentially has a physical address tied to it right? Or are ALL P.O. box addresses exempt??

TIA!!!

why would you put the po box if she has a physical street address

I have a couple customers who have PO boxes, I have all their addresses as you posted and have never had a problem getting products to them.

At least where I live, the PO Box is totally different from the street address. HO won't deliver if the PO Box is listed I don't think. You need to find out why the person wants both listed and explain that you need a "physical address" even if it has to be her/his work address to deliver to.

I usually have this problem. The post office does not deliver to my physical address since I live about a block from the PO. I will typically list my address like you have it to ensure that I get it because I am never truly sure how someone will ship something.

In my town, we do not have mail delievery, it's a small community and everyone is pretty close to the post office. I always put my physical address on the first line and my PO Box on the second. You never know how something is going to ship, so I cover both basis with a 3 lined address. It just becomes habit over time. If you need to send something through USPS then use the PO Box, if it's coming UPS or FedEx, then it needs to go to the physical address.

I have had customers order personal orders and I put their address in as 10 Main St in the first box and the PO Box in the second. Most businesses recognize the first address as delivery address and second as mailing address. I put both so if I or HO need to mail anything they have this address as well. I have not had a problem, yet LOL

i do the physical addy on top and the box on the bottom too!
