Instead of P.O. Box???

Question

Instead of saying P.O. Box # 1234567, what else can I say?

It is for a small business I have,and I would just rather not have it say "P.O. Box" on my business cards, is there anything else I canuse,without saying it isa "Suite" or whatever or a"Unit"? or "#" ???...

Help!!!!!!!

And, no, nothing wrong with saying P.O.Box, I just personally don't want to, thanks.

Answer 1

I understand your reasons for wanting to have a PO Box as your company's mailing address - I have a similar situation... But, one way that you can change things up a bit and make your business sound a bit more established is to rent a box at a UPS Store or similar kind of business that actually has a street address and allows you to give a unit # that will then be your company's box. The service is a bit more expensive than the post office's rentals but the advantages are a lot more too.

Good luck with your business

I'm pretty sure the only abbreviation you can use is P.O Box . It may sound sketchy to you for a business to only have a P.O Box and not an address, so maybe thats why you don't like the idea of using it.. but I think it's pretty acceptable these days! :)
If it really worries you what people will think, try doing a survey asking people what their impression is of a business that uses a P.O box as its address.. You may be surprised, as I think most people don't care too much..

Answer 3

If your mailing address is a Post Office Box, then using Unit, Suite or any of those is not an option... in fact, your ONLY option is to use PO Box.

Similarly if you live on 120th Street, you would have to state STREET not Avenue or whatever else looks better.

Or did I misunderstand your question?

Answer 4

Nope, a po box address is a po box.

I usually write POB 1234, it's a wee bit shorter.
You can also just write 'Box'.

Lots of businesses have PO Boxes, I have one as my business address because I don't want to use my home address.

In my country could work as Postal Code although is a larger name...
