C/o mailing
"C/o" is an abbreviation for "care of," and it's often used in mailing addresses to indicate that the mail should be delivered to a specific person or organization on behalf of someone else.
Here's an example of how you might use "c/o" in a mailing address:
John Doe c/o Jane Smith 123 Main Street Anytown, USA 12345
In this example, the mail should be delivered to Jane Smith at the address listed, but it's being sent to her care of John Doe. This might be useful if John Doe is the one who is paying for the postage or if he has a special arrangement with the postal service.
Here are a few more examples of how you might use "c/o" in a mailing address:
- A company might use "c/o" to indicate that a package should be delivered to a specific department or person within the company.
- A person might use "c/o" to indicate that a package should be delivered to a friend or family member who is staying at their address temporarily.
- A business might use "c/o" to indicate that a package should be delivered to a specific person or department within the company, but the package should be addressed to the business as a whole.
It's worth noting that "c/o" is not the same as "PO Box" or "post office box," which is a special type of mailbox that is rented from the post office. If you're sending mail to someone who has a PO Box, you would use the PO Box number in the mailing address, rather than "c/o."
