Whether you’re sending a tiny letter or a large package, it is vital to write the correct address in order for it to reach its destination. A faulty or confusing address can lead to delays, loss of items, mishandling and even misdelivery.
If your recipient uses a post office box as their primary mailing address, it is important to include both the address and the unique box number on the envelope. Begin with the recipient’s name (first and last), or the company/organization name if applicable, in the first line of the address. Next, write the unique box number followed by the city/town/village, state and ZIP code.
The US Postal Service recommends that you use a legible font, such as Arial or Times New Roman. This ensures that the address is easily read by humans and machines. Also, it is best to avoid cursive or decorative fonts, as these may not be easily scanned and processed by automated systems. The final step in writing an effective address is to double-check that the PO box number has been written correctly, and that all other details are included as well. By following these simple steps, you can rest assured that your mail or package will arrive promptly at its destination. Good luck!
