I am not sure. If you have both, I would just put both of them on it.

I do not order GC. I make my own up and let them come back to me to use it.

That's a GOOD idea because can't the "official" GC only be used online for individual orders?

The guest gave me a po box and I didn't think anything of it at the time, but now I'm not sure and I don't want to put a PO Box and then have the GC be delayed because she needs it for a birthday later this month and I just didn't want to call her AGAIN if I didn't have to (I just called her to get the address I have and don;t want her to think I;m crazy!!)
 
Call HO and ask? I THINK they come USPS, but I'm not sure. I sell them PC gift certificates, because they count towards the host's show total. If I donate a prize, I will give something that has to be redeemed through ME!
 
The GCs come USPS, because it's just a certificate/order form and a catalog in an envelope.
So you should be able to have it sent to a PO box no problem.

Just for future reference you actually CAN NOT use a PO Box. I have a sample copy of a gift certificate that I got with my kit and it said no PO Box. Now that I think of it, maybe that means the recipient of the GC can't give a PO Box to have their actual items shipped to. I guess I don't really know!! Go figure!! Anyway, I just used my address with c/o. The purchaser wanted it sent to her so she could give it the recipient herself and I'll just bring it to the purchaser myself since she lives right in town. I hope it works out...I must say I may consider making my own GC in the future. It doesn't seem as professional but I think the ones from the company are a BIG pain in the @ss!!
