    Why not P.O. Box?

    Why do some sponsors not allow P.O. boxes?

    If you have our name, SSN, ect. Why can we not use our
    P.O. Boxes?

          In the Netherlands they are first hand addresses. Most companies use it as their primary mailing address.

                    All banks cannot allow PO Boxes either, due to the patriot act.

                    I don't have a physical address, only directions, I'm that rural. They tell me, use my rural route address then, and I do, and it is a box also, so I get shit about it either way. Fucking patriot act.

                        P.O. Boxes are okay if you call them up so that they can screen you. I have done this several times.

                          False. I have several bank accounts with a P.O. Box primary.

                            ALL of my sponsors send my checks to a PO BOX for me.

                            IF they want my physical address also they can have it.....but I get all the mail at one place.

                            sig too big

                              Some people think PO Boxes are used often by scammers.
                              I don't use ICQ anymore.

                                Both my credit union and bank of america accounts have my PO box as the primary.

                                Also, every sponsor I use has my PO box. I have moved like 3 -4 times in 4 years, so the PO Box is the only way for me. Which made it even worse that I forgot to pay it and was almost closed last month!

                                              Got to one of The UPS Stores *formerly known as Mail Boxes Etc.* and get a box there. No one will know the difference.

                                              You get a # a regular address and you can call it a suite etc.

                                                    I use a P.O. Box for my primary with all sponsors, which ones dont allow them?

                                                    I also use it for primary with both bank accts, but have my house address as secondary

                                                      maybe you need some brain food

                                                        If you have our name, SSN, ect. Why can we not use our

                                                        Most sponsors allow P.O. boxes, but there are still a few that dont. I've always thought that was a stupid rule. I never use my home address for business purposes.

                                                        Webair Hosting

                                                          Also, every sponsor I use has my PO box. I have moved like 3 -4 times in 4 years, so the PO Box is the only way for me. Which made it even worse that I forgot to pay it and was almost closed last month!

                                                          Yup, my bank has my PO box, but they needed to confirm my home addy before they would take it.

                                                          And every single program I am with has my PO Box I have not run into any problems. Why would some not take them? Thats stupid! I move wayyyyy too much to be fucking changing it with all the damm programs I am with each time. ALL of my mail goes to my PO box - credit card bills, magazines - shit even mail from my family and the DMV goes there. The only real mail I get to my home is my water and electricity bills and other bills for the house.
