My bills are sent to a P.O. Box, but packages ship to a street address. What can I do?

  1. If both addresses are in the same zip code, you can use a combined address in the following format:

    Your Name
    Your Street Address
    P.O. Box XXXX (optional)
    Your City, State ZZZZZ-XXXX

    where ZZZZZ is your 5-digit zip code and XXXX is your post-office box number.

  2. Have your credit card bill sent to that address. USPS will find you based on your 9-digit zip code.
  3. Confirm that address with paypal.
  4. FedEx and USPS will find you based on your street address.
