Shipping Instructions for new ADCO location.

My building address of 108 Findlay Pike is new, and doesn't exist in most shipping software databases causing many headaches.  Some don't see it as valid, some want a "North" or "South" added.  Pick one, either will get the package to me.  I know that makes you hesitant when shipping stuff, but you'll have to trust me on this.  (If you are driving to ADCO do NOT enter  “North” Findlay Pike in your GPS, it takes you to an abandoned building down the street.)


***Everyone needs to understand***

  • UPS does not deliver to P.O. Boxes.  (there are exceptions, but as a rule UPS will not deliver to a PO BOX)

  • The USPS will not accept mail that is not addressed to the P.O. Box.  




There is NO mail delivery ADCO.  Every piece of mail shipped USPS is delivered to the P.O. Box at the post office where I will pick it up in person.   The post office is literally next door to ADCO so this is super easy.  As a bonus, when work is done the same day, I can walk it to the post office right then and not have to wait for the mail carrier the next day.

Having two options/address available is a source of confusion.  In an attempt to simplify the shipping address I combined both into one address.   Combining the street address with the PO BOX looks silly, but it works for every means of shipping.

But of course I created confusion from the shipping clerk standpoint if you use UPS or FedEx.  The Post Office will have no problem with the combined address label.  
The shipping clerk at UPS or FedEx should know they don’t deliver to P.O. Boxes, but I'm getting phone calls from people at the UPS store confused about not putting the PO BOX on the label when questioned by the shipping clerk.   The clerk should be smart enough to ignore it or leave it off.  If they question you ask them to put it in the “Contact Name” or “Attention” field for your peace of mind.  If you’re shipping yourself and making your own label, fill it out as shown for the sake of consistency.


The end result will be a label that looks like this.  Whether you ship UPS, FedEx, or USPS a package addressed as shown on the label below will get to ADCO.



If you can remember to separate UPS from USPS packages you are free to use FOR UPS ONLY - - DO NOT send US Mail to this address.

But you might be questioned about the North or South -  Don't be scared, pick either one it will get to me.  


FOR USPS ONLY - - DO NOT send UPS Packages to this address.

I'm no good at telling people what they want to hear when I dont believe it myself :)
