Prepaid and reg credit card question
 

How do you get credit cards and prepaid cards sent to your po box. Was getting them sent for 5 years using the full address of the po now they say they will not let first class mail have full address with box number attar he it strictly has to sa po box. Xxxx they will return all mail that comes in like that only packages can have it wth!!!! Any insight besides getting a ups box

It's because it's illegal to receive credit cards to a PO Box, they can only be sent to a real address, and you were most likely flagged by wherever your box is located at that you were receiving credit/debit cards

Something to do with the patriot act

Up here, you can still get these cards to your po box after you have been identified or change of address from your house is done...

In the States it can not be a POBOX it needs to,be a regular address

It's the p oat office I called the main post office they said it is ok to get first class mail with the full address so it was the post office I've been at the same place for 5 years all of a sudden a problem so I'll just go to another post office and get a new box.

They must of took notice that you were getting mail with cards in it and flagged you, a nosey employee either was reading the envelopes or felt a card. Because your allowed to get first class mail, just not credit/debit cards

So the post office cut you off rather than inspect,your mail everytime

So, another office would work until they see something they don't like

I still use P.O box and don't have any problems. However I can take a first and back of card :D

It's not illegal. I have a buddy that has this same problem.
