Does UPS deliver to PO boxes?

[HonkeyDonk]

Anyone know? I couldn't find out on their website.

I know FedEx doesn't del. to PO boxes so I'd assume UPS doesn't either.


Problem is that I sold some stuff no ebay and I said shipping via Fedex ground. Well the dude that won has a PO address, thus I can't use FedEx. I could ship Priority, but the package is heavy and would cost more, would it be ok to ask for more $ for shipping? He's already paid me via paypal.

Thanks for your help.

no

🙂

edit: can you believe that there is no search on the ups site? And that there is no mention of po boxes?

well, not that i can find, anyway.

2nd edit: if you already quoted the buyer a shipping price, you cannot ask for more. well, you can... but the seller does not have to pay it and things can go south in the transaction. Also, i dont know how thrilled i would be shipping to a p.o. box.

Notice: The address validation functionality will validate P.O. Box addresses; however,UPS does not deliver to P.O. Boxes. Attempts by customer to ship to a P.O. Box viaUPS may result in additional charges.

this is the only thing i could find.

i'm pretty sure they don't.

i used to write "apt # xxx" and they'd deliver it there even if it were a po box in reality. they'd ring the doorbell or on my instructions just leave it in the main entrance area.

I've done shipping via UPS for 3+ years - no, they don't, like others have stated

They will for sure have a physical address of some sort. Some country ppl don't get their mail delivered to them directly via USPS, and so have a PO Box, however there is always some physical address that UPS/Fedex would use. Either that or they leave it at the nearest depot.
