PO Box?

Hi guys,

Do you know is it possible to use a PO Box in a Post Office to receive AdSense checks? Are there some limitations for the address?

 

I'm only guessing here, but I'd assume that if you tried to register an Adsense accout with a PO Box number then you wouldn't get accepted.

But I could be wrong.

 

I've been already accepted with a regular address. But I haven't received the PIN they've sent to me yet. The only reason for me to use a PO box is to get more secure post service.

 

Right. It's a long time since I recieved a PIN but if I remember correctly it can take a couple of weeks to arrive.

My guess is you'd be better off asking Google direct about this one.

 

Thanks! I've emailed them. Let's see what they'll answer.

 

A lot of major ad services DO NOT allow PO Boxes because it's like that publisher is trying to hide something

 

Yes, I suppose it is like this although it doesn't make much sense to me.
The postal services in some countries are not very reliable so the PO box would be a better option. And of course, wire transfers are not available for these countries. Which is again strange having in mind that for example parking companies provide wire transfers worldwide.

 

I signed up with a PO Box, and I still receive checks.

(When living in a city, you don't have the option of a real mail box!)

 

if the form doesn't let you enter a p.o. box,then you can't use one.
after you enter your PIN,you should be able to enter a p.o. box.

what city do you live in that makes everyone go to post office to get their mail.

 

I live in Canada.

If you live in a town/city here, you aren't given the option of "home delivery" for your mail. Only if you live in rural areas.

 

This is the response from adsense. Pretty useful...

 

That's a automated message I think.

 

There is no clear answer. Apparently, a street address is required if you live in the United States, but those in certain countries can use a post box.

First, an automated message arrived. But the one I posted was a second one that arrived several days later and unfortunately, was also useless like the automated one.
I'm wondering how Google is such a successful company with all this lack of support and treating people like idiots...
