just wondering what is the proper proceude when sending mail c/o

like here is (on paperback swap_)

jone done

c/o mr smith

100 main street

anywhere, ca 90066   

but when using paypal shipping

they do

Jane done

100 main street

c/o Mr smith

anywhere ,ca 90066

which is the correct procedure or does it matter?

thanks for any help!

The first example would be the most correct but I doubt it will make much difference on a package.

Mail is delivered as addressed unless the carrier has a reason not to.  It could conceivably cause a delay with a letter because machines sort letters into delivery sequence and look for the address in the line above the city state ZIP line but I'm not 100% sure it even make a difference there either.

The first format would be correct Mark.

IIRC, USPS reads addresses from the bottom up, so the info should read in the order necessary for delivery: City/State (on the bottom), then address, and addressee above that.  Placing an addressee before the addy will only confuse and delay delivery.

its just funny how paypal does it  thats how i print my postage label using paypal

oh well
