If I'm going to send a food box to NOC I have to do it TODAY! The Handbook says "send it to the store" - - the outfitter store???? At the Hwy 19 address for the NOC? Help! :confused:

What's the proper way to address the box.
I know, probably a real simple answer but I have never mailed a maildrop.

Thanks

Priority Mail only.

Mark:

Your name
HOLD FOR HIKER (you can put an ETA on there)
Post office address
Post office City State zip

--make sure you write return address--

(I've sent boxes to hikers not knowing their ETA)

Why Priority Mail?

If you send it to a business such as NOC how would you address it?

Priority mail isn't necessary but recommended and most of the time similar in postage to parcel post. Your PO will be able to give you the difference and estimated days of delivery.

name of hiker
c/o name of business (or general delivery if PO)
address (no address needed if PO)
town, state, zip

hold for hiker eta

After havng two mail drops lost, Priority Mail is safer. And if you don't need it, you can have it forwarded at no cost if you don't open the box. I had a box delivered to the wrong place and it was forwarded with no problem.
