Re: Ordering tracfone to po box

I did not know there were places where mail doesn't come to your house.  Learned something new.

 

If it is shipping by UPS or FedEx, will those ship to your street address?

Re: Ordering tracfone to po box

I deal with this issue on a daily basis.  I live in a small mountain town in Western NC.  I have never had a mailbox at my house.  Even if I did I still would not get my package delivered by USPS to my door.  I have a PO Box in town and just like MamaWick stated that is how I address all packages that are coming to me.

 

QVC will not deliver with a PO Box address.  You never know how anyone and especially QVC is going to ship the package.  Most of the time it will start out as UPS/FedX and within 30 miles of my place it will get picked up by the USPS.  In a week or so I might get my package.

 

Just put your shipping address as:

Jane Doe

Box 123 (your box number...just say box, not PO Box)

12345 Main Street (PostOffice street address)

Anywhere, USA  12345

 

The tracking number should tell you when the package arrives at your PO.

Re: Ordering tracfone to po box

Thanks everyone. Tried removing the PO part. No go then they want to know my numbered address. I put that in but since it doesn't receive mail there, it doesn't exist. I'll try for the next phone deal when I ask around more.

@kittyloo  you need to put in the street address of the Post Office and your box number.  UPS, FedEx, and even Amazon will deliver to the Post Office and the Post Office will then deliver to your box.  Trust us who have given you that advice.

Its the UPS Sure Post.  They pick it up from the shipper and drop it at the post office whether you request UPS or not.  Fed Ex is evidently doing the same thing, according to my neighbor out here in the woods.  They don't want to drive out here, its time consuming in good weather and almost impossible in the snow.
