what does c/o (care of) mean and how do i use it?

Answer 1

Here is an example. My stepson gets his bills sent to us every month because he is disabled. But he does not live with us. So the bills get sent with my stepson's name. Then underneath his name on the envelope, it says c/o my husbands name. Basically it means that the mail will be entrusted to my husband even though it is not specifically for him.

Answer 2

If you're talking about mail and things like that, it's when something is sent to you at another location.
For example, I've been ordering a lot of things online that won't ship to me at an APO, so I send them to myself, c/o my mother in law.
The address looks something like
Jane Smith
c/o Sally Smith
123 Park Drive
City, ST 01234

Answer 3

if you place it on an envelope when you are mailing something,
it means you are sending it to that address(c/o), but the letter is going to a certain person in the house, Say, I want my niece to have the letter, but her mothers name is the only name on the mailbox, it will be ( In-Care of her mothers name) c/o

Answer 4

means you are addressing something for someone but using other person's name or address ( of course with the permission of the person you want to mention).

Answer 5

if you are sending something to someone at place with many people, or someone who is not normally at that address.
