PO Box vs Street Address for Package Delivery

A common shipping failure: a marketplace order headed to a PO Box via UPS or FedEx. Private carriers generally need a street address. USPS products can deliver to PO Boxes when the service allows it.

Practical tips

Ask recipients whether they use a PO Box, a CMRA street/PMB format, or a home address. If they use a private mailbox, confirm the provider accepts your carrier and package size. For carrier overviews, start at the shipping guides hub.
