Legit way around PO Box
 

Since I am new here I have been reading everything I can, the more informed I am the better my chances are of my keeping my EB/PP accounts intact long term.

One thing I noticed in a bunch of the posts was the issue regarding a PO box. I live in a rural town and do not have a mailing address to my home, I have no choice but to use a PO box.

I have come across this situation so many times with all types of scenarios in real life when a PO Box is not accepted as my address. Because I don't have a street address I had to come up with a way. Every post office has a physical location, it's on a street somewhere, so I word my address as Box 123, name of actual street, actual city, actual state, actual zip. I have never had an issue with this being accepted or in receiving my mail. It is even this way on my drivers license, credit cards, bank account etc. I think the main reason it works is because I leave the "PO" out of the equation, those two letters in the address field are what sends out the PO Box not accepted message, but when I have gone back and deleted those two letters it works every time.

Hope this helps someone:yar:

Definitely sounds like a great idea. Will try this soon :).

Do you have a UPS nearby? If so, you can use those as street addresses without any problems. Do what you have to do since you can't use your home address.

B. 123 also works =)
