Using 'Care Of' in Address

Asked Sep 23, 2011, 03:13 PM — 13 Answers
Silly question but I am buying something online that I need shipped to me at work and I am unsure how to do this.

Would it be sent to:

Me
c/o company name
company address

or would it be sent to:

Company name
c/o Me
company address

I guess overall it doesn't matter but I want to know in case it does.

Thanks

If you put your name first, then it should get to you.

How big is the company you work at? Does it have a mailroom?

How is it being sent? USPS, FEDEX, UPS?

It has a shipping/receiving department and handles about 30 people. The package is coming through UPS.

Address it you first care of company second line and be sure to alert the receiving department of your impending package through UPS. They will be sure to get it to you if notified ahead of time.
