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?

Because they are "second hand" addresses.
Second part.

alot of non-adult places don't accept them either.

but they're perfectly valid ones. :(

I just dont get it.

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

a lot of places in the us use them as primaries,,,

It's quite a burger you got there! In so many ways :winkwink:

I'm thinking about to get one. But I have to take a look on the price.

20 bucks for 6 months :thumbsup

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.

which sponsors dont allow P.O. Boxes?

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.

:2 cents:

Some people think PO Boxes are used often by scammers.

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!

:helpme

what about someone living in the country who only has a po box number?

and what country that would be? :helpme

because a lot of scammers use them

But whats it matter if its a real address or a p.o. box

both still have name and phone # on them.

umm make it look like a street address ?

6969 main st
Apt 1192

am i refering to a country you idiot?

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.

Yeah what if you live in your car?

lol, true :1orglaugh

but i am not an idiot, i really read your thread as if you were referring to a country with all ppl using PO boxes

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

i'm too lazy to find a pic of popcorn so here's a dancing banana :banana

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.

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.

:thumbsup

PO boxes and stuff like that is often used by scammers and I don't see a need to use one instead of your real adress. :2 cents:

If you get a PO Box from the USPS, they require current license and a bill from home to open an account (Since 9/11). You also have to live in the area where the PO Box is also.

maybe yours, not mine.
all they needed was my ID. this was after 9/11 waaay after.
and I dont live in the same zip code as my p.o. box

then you must have never moved and then be faced with changing your addy with over 100 sponsors, plus bills and all that other shit.


If a scammer is going to scam you they will do it with or without a PO Box :2 cents:

But most scammers seem to use PO boxes.If you're known or able to proof that you're a legit webmaster it shouldn't be a problem tho.

This is the reason unfortunately :(
