When preparing your package for shipping, it is crucial to label it clearly with the destination address to ensure it reaches its intended recipient without any issues. Here's a detailed guide on what address details you need to include on your package:

1. Recipient's Full Name: Ensure the full name of the recipient is written clearly. Avoid using nicknames or abbreviations to prevent any confusion during delivery.
2. Street Address: Include the street address, ensuring to add any apartment or unit number if applicable.
3. City: Write the city name in full. Avoid using abbreviations for cities to prevent misrouting.
4. State/Province/Region: Include the state, province, or region. Use the full name or the official postal abbreviation recognized by the shipping carrier.
5. Postal Code/ZIP Code: The postal code or ZIP code is essential for sorting and delivering the package accurately. Double-check to ensure this is correct.
6. Country: For international shipments, always include the destination country in capital letters. This helps in the quick identification and routing of the package.
7. Return Address: It’s advisable to include your return address in the top left corner of the package or on the back. This ensures that if the package cannot be delivered, it can be returned to you.
8. Contact Information: Adding a phone number or email address for both the sender and the recipient can be beneficial. It allows the carrier to contact either party in case of any delivery issues.
