OT: what does PMB stand for?

[Julien]

It's in an address.. I'm guessing Postal Mail Box?

afaik, fedex and ups do not ship to PO boxes, i live in a town with no home delivery so i send all my fedex & ups deliveries to the shop instead.

there are certainly some interesting ones in there.

im 95% sure they will ship to a pmb. its just a private mail box (and is not the same as a po box). many private shipping stores even have pmb's on site. call 800-pick-ups and let us know what they say

[benDASHDASH]

come to think of it, ive shipped to a few pmb's with ups

[quikveedb2]

yeah i didn't comment on pmb's. just my own experience with po boxes, and as they are owned by usps, they do not accept packages from other carriers. but good to know pmb is different.

fedex/UPS/DHL, etc will deliver to a PMB- it's usually located at a packaging/shipping store- like Mailboxes, Etc or similar type place.

The difference is that a PO Box address isn't gonna have a physical address- just the PO Box number and a city- those are only deliverable by the USPS. PMB should have a street address PLUS a PMB #.
