PO Box?

Discussion in 'AdSense' started by welkin, May 23, 2008.

    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.

    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. :confused:

    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.

    That's a automated message I think.

    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...
