P.O. box address

A P.O. box address is an address where a person receives mail via a post office box at the post office, instead of a physical residential or business address. Please note: if a company that has only a P.O. box address fails to make payment, it may be more difficult to initiate legal proceedings against it or hold it liable, as the physical registered address is unknown.
