I will be ordering the Mega Saying Bracelet Assortment to verify address. I have a PO Box and am trying to find out the best way to approach this since I know that we can't use PO Boxes for verifying address because it wouldn't actually prove anything. I'm just curious because if they use any service other than USPS then I will be able to verify it. I did research on the issue and wasn't able to find much out and turned here as a last resort. Thanks for any help - Hazzie

You're right, your first order could not be shipped to a P.O box. Your first order to verify has to be sent to your physical address that's on your account information. After you have verified, then you have the option to add the P.O box into the Address 2 field on your account information and request items be shipped to it instead, but not all sellers will ship to them.

I do have one more question on this topic (last one, I promise). Have you ever heard of P2S making an exception and letting something be shipped through a different service like UPS or FedEx if the person were willing to pay extra to cover the shipping charges? I'm asking because I can't very well throw a mailbox down where I live. I know that this will be a matter to take up with them, but I figured that you, as a moderator, may know something about it. I'm just trying to get some ideas on how I can resolve this issue (like putting the above information about my willingness to "pay extra" into the shipping details along with a request for a different service). Any advice is welcome.

You could always send in a support ticket to the admin and ask about that to them yourself though. Go to the Support tab, click Support Ticket and then click New ticket. Ask your question there.

It would certainly seem like the most plausible route to take in this situation. I will update this with more information once a find the appropriate solution (as long as it doesn't take too long) for future reference for users who may encounter the same issue. Thank you very much for your help on this, chevychic255.

I have to have a PO Box, I do have a physical address however the USPS does not deliver to my physical address. My post office is a two minute walk from my house. It is a podunk town with strange mail delivery systems. Even if I put just my physical address down, it would still go to the post office, and the postmaster is strict about how the address is written on the mail. He has been known to return mail for not including the box number under the physical address line. Responded to the ticket after trying to order stickers to verify my address. Seems like people in our shoes are out of luck when we have to have a PO box. I do know FedEx delivers to PO boxes and physical addresses, because they work directly with the USPS with SmartPost. I am now awaiting a different ticket reply now as well because I am banned from different sections, and I have no clue why. Seems to have happened after I ran CC Cleaner to clean up my computer.
