The first line is your name the second line you start with PO Box then the # and the third line is city, state zip.

dont forget that there are four digits after the zip code to indicate box number. at least this is how all my packs have been sent.
12345-6789 if your box number is 6789.

Mary Jane
PO Box 989
City, State
87537
USA

the 87537 would be the zip.

Is that correct?

5 digit zip code works you don't have to give them the full one.

Personally, i always check the vendors main page that i am ordering from . Some prefer 3 lines, some 4 and some 5. If you format the address to the way they prefer, hopefully it eliminates any mistakes when labeling etc.

Was there not a post form someone here that said NOT to include PO BOX in the address label? I was certain I saw someone post this.. must have been retracted//
is this correct? If one is ordering international, is it best to not write PO BOX? How would one write the label? Thank you  :)

If you have a PO box, you have to write the number, just like your street and house/apt number if you didn't have a po box. How else are they gonna get the mail to your po box??

I mean to ask if it is written correctly/ If it makes a difference for a large international order to write it this way ( with the PO BOX number, just not writing PO BOX)
