P.O. Boxes and Express Delivery Companies


Express delivery companies (FedEx, UPS, DHL, etc.) cannot deliver mail to P.O. Box numbers. Therefore, when you provide information for use by an express delivery company, please be sure to provide your physical street address ( 30 Courtland Street, 35 Broad Street, etc. and the 30303 zip code for Atlanta). All business cards printed will include your “Mailing Address” as well as your “In Person” physical address. Mail Services encourages each department to include its “Mailing Address” and its “In Person” physical street address on all publications as well as websites..
