Im a mail idiot

[GuileVsGuile]

Im purchasing a new hdd on newegg and Im at college so I have a box number. For the address, should I type it like this: Box 8776, 123 College Avenue

in Address line 1?

or should I use both address lines 1&2:
Box 8776
123 College Avenue

sry, this question is so stupid, I just don't want any confusion on their part and I am in a paranoid mood right now

You better be sure they deliver to PO boxes.

 

[Aves]

Line 1: 123 College Avenue
Line 2: Box 8776


That's what I would put but the question is, can you recieve Fedex deliveries at that address?

I really don't think it matters, but might as well go with 1&2..

 

[CrackRabbit]

Put it the other way around,
123 College Avenue
Box 8776

lol...

123 college avenue (first line)
Box 8776 (2nd line)


just think about it for a second... if you tell them first to go to box 8776, that gives them no idea where it might be.

When I lived in the dorms, I only supplied vendors with the building number and my name. The people at the front desk will cross-reference your name and should put it in your box. That was my experience.

people aren't like robots dude. they'd never be able to find anything if they didn't ever read the postal code (last thing)

oooh, good call....see i really am a mailtard...i just checked and they dont deliver to P.O. boxes. The thing is, its a university, so they don't really deliver it directly to P.O. boxes. They deliver to the university's post office and the post office sorts the packages out. I dunno...Im not really a risk taker wen it comes to these things...

wow, you sure are smart! :roll: it just makes it easier if everyone addresses their mail uniformally.

you sure do have a lot of stupid things to say in every thread you post in. do you have this bad of an attitude IRL?
