Sorry for this inane one question post but was thinking about the mail I just sent to VCU. It was a PO box address and I priority mailed it. Worried now I might have mucked that up.

Yes. You can't FedEx/UPS/DHL/etc. something to a PO Box.

if you sent it from a post office, im sure the person who took it would have said something about it....
i dont know about priority but i know you cant do fedex or ups - maybe priority is ok?

yeah....if you send it through the post office, they do send priority mail to PO boxes (my local post office said they do when i asked), but yeah if you FedEx'd or something, they don't send to PO boxes

yep, only USPS (even priority mail) can go to PO boxes. It's the private carriers (FedEx, etc.) that aren't allowed.

I was thinking about a similar question today - are you guys sending priority/fedex/etc. so you can track or just going with standard first class mail?

EDIT: Sorry, just did a search...already covered on another thread. I'm slowly getting the hang of SDN.

You cannot UPS/FedEX/DHL to PO Boxes - only physical addresses can be used. US Mail (USPS) which includes priority, parcel post, express, etc. can be sent to PO Boxes.
