As stated, it means " care of".
If the label of a package reads:
John Smith
c/o Plains International
111 Main
Whatits, NJ
then that means it will go to Plains International and be in their care for further delivery to John Smith.
You always put c/o in front the person or place's name that will receive the main delivery of the item, and have the person or place's name preceding it that is supposed to get the final delivery of it (in other words, the one the package is meant for).

On letters it stands for: in Care Of which means that hopefully the owner of that address will pass it on to the recepient.

care of.
When you send a letter in care of c/o of someone it means that person will receive the letter even if the name of the business or place is different.

It means "in care of". They use it when sending mail to companies so they know exactly whom it goes to at the business

It means "Care of"....... as in someone who lives at an address but doesnt have their name on the door or any other means of identifying thats where they live, would be known as 'care of.....'

In care of
or
commanding officer
or
commissioned officer
but probably in care of, if you saw it on an envelope.
