Weird Confirmed address should I ship to it?
 

Here is the address does it look weird to you guys:

PO Box xxx
xxxxxx NY
xxxxx-xxxxx

I X'ed out his personal info, is that a PO box in the post office or something? The buyer called us and what not, good communication, should I call the buyer and tell him his address looks funny, and if he says its wrong can he change it?

I personally would never ship to a P.O box. Call him and tell him

Well I have before numerous of times before, never any problems. Would you mind telling me why its a bad idea, alot of people say it is but with never a explanation. Thank you

I don't see any problem with that address? Except for all the X's :pop2:

And I don't see any problem with shipping PO Box if it is confirmed by PayPal. I do it at least twice a week.

Sure, call your customer if you are in doubt.

P.O Box is the preferable address to ship to because all you need is delivery confirmation. It is actually more secure than leaving parcels outside the door in a mailbox which is not secured.

HaaHaaHaa.... might be a stealth buyer;)

OK thanks so much guys I just needed re assurance, I just it was weird because it says his name, then po box and then city. There is no physical address, like a street name it just says po box. Thanks.

@anderson, there are many companies in the USA that supply 'virtual' addresses. I've seen quite a few with that layout. Seen them in Florida & New York State. :pop2:

Ok thank you so much!

Yes I get them all the time it probably is a stealth buyer. That's what I always think.

I get these all the time. Means they usually live in a smaller town, usually out in the country and they have a PO Box in town. My grandmother 80 miles outside of Billings, Montana is the same way. She has a RR number and also a PO Box in her small town of 2,000.

I personally use this approach whether I live in a city of 5 million or 1,000. It's a matter of personal privacy.

Little confused...I live in the second largest city in my state (VERY large city) and all of the PO Boxes are INSIDE the post office and my PO address has a city attached to it of course.....how else would they know where to send it to? Never seen a package that didnt have a city,state,zip on it. Maybe I am misunderstanding the question........
