Greetings Bricklink,

I have an order being shipped to a PO number, is that the same as a PO Box number?
It is "Unconfirmed" according to PayPal but is listed as their PayPal
address. So, the PayPal address matches the order address. Is this safe to send?

Thanks,

AJ

A PO# often refers to Purchase Order, however in this instance I suspect they
just mean post office box.

Right, it was part of the address it just didn't say "box" just PO.

I just dealt with this exact issue today! Let me guess, the order is going to
Colorado Springs? Normally, I would send the Buyer a message asking to clarify.
But I was in the process of creating several shipping labels, and my mail carrier’s
arrival was imminent. When I added the word “Box” after “PO”, the address switched
to ‘Confirmed.’ So let’s hope for the best!

YES! Colorado Springs! I also just changed it and added "box" in PayPal
and it now says verified. I messaged the buyer with high priority two days ago
with no response. I'm going to send it now and hope for the best. Keep me
posted on how your goes!

Wait, what?! This same person ordered from me June 26th, and I had the same issue
with the address. I contacted him and didn't hear back, so I changed it to
"PO Box" and I was able to purchase the label. Did you have any issues
with the seller after you shipped the order?
