How to address a letter or parcel to USA? Tips on address formatting

Here is a quick guide for addressing parcels/letters to USA. There are two main types of U.S. addresses:
residential addresses & PO boxes. 

(1) Residential Address

Example

UK address format	U.S. address format
Mr John Smith Apartment 7 118 Hammersmith Grove	Ms Amanda Smith Apartment 1b 213 Pond Street
London	Boston, MA  02130
W6 7HB	USA
UK

UK and U.S. residential addresses have very few differences. As similar as the two might seem, it is important not to get the UK and the U.S. letter address format mixed up.

• (1) Firstly, write the state of the city  / town / village which you would like to send your parcel to after the its name.
• (2) Secondly, in the USA the postcode comes after the name of the state.

(2) PO Box

Example

UK address format	U.S. address format
Mr John Smith Apartment 7 118 Hammersmith Grove	Mr Kyle 200 Boston Ave PO Box 104
London	Seattle, WA 98109
W6 7HB	USA
UK

• (3) If you would like to send a parcel to a PO box, insert its number below the address of the the receiver. Make sure to contact your carrier before booking your parcel delivery to USA. Some carriers may have PO box restrictions.
