Can I use a PO Box address instead of a residential address as an individual?

Hi,

I can’t seem to find anyone asking about this, I’m registering my shop as an individual but I don’t want to use my residential address. Could I use a PO Box address instead? Although it specifically says to use a residential address?

Thanks in advance!

hi@rosieposie I completely agree with @Venlohbwo. I can't think of any issues with using a PO Box address. I would also recommend you check with your shipping carrier as some carriers might charge extra for a pickup from a PO. Box address or a residential address, or in worst cases, might not offer a pickup for the same. Popular carriers like UPS, FedEx, DHL, etc. also offer pickups from a Pickup Location near your business address and even provide discounted shipping if you opt for that. You can reach out to them and opt for the Pickup Location Address instead as well.
