Writing the name is one of the most important parts of writing a package address. Without writing the package name, it will not reach the recipient. To facilitate the delivery process, it is advisable to write the full name.

However, sometimes for certain reasons, the prospective package recipient may not want to write their full name. If so, the prospective package recipient can write their name briefly, without omitting the first name.

In addition, to make it clearer, you can also add a nickname in parentheses. This is to anticipate if the package goes astray. Sometimes, neighbors or the community may recognize your nickname more than the first name or full name.

2. How to Write a Complete Package Address

To send a package to its destination, besides the name, you also need to pay attention to the address writing. On the outside of the package, the address must be written clearly. Avoid using abbreviations, except for commonly used words such as number (abbreviated as no.), street (abbreviated as st.), alley (abbreviated as al.).

If you write the address by typing, make sure you also use a clear font type and not too small size. So that the courier can read the destination address clearly.

In addition to being clear, the way to write a package address must be done completely. Writing the address completely will minimize the risk of the package going astray or being exchanged. The complete package writing must include the street name, housing or place name, RT and RW, village or sub-district, district or city, province, and postal code.

Even if the package is sent from or to another country, you are also required to include the name of the destination country.

3. Include an Active Phone Number

In addition to the recipient's name and address, which are equally important in writing the address on a package, including a phone number is also crucial. By adding a phone number to the package address, the courier can contact you at any time, especially when they get lost or confused.

In addition, couriers usually contact the recipient when they have arrived at the destination address but there is no one available to receive the package. Not only does this facilitate the courier, but also writing a phone number can be very helpful if your package is mistakenly delivered to the wrong recipient. Usually, the shipping company will contact you regarding such incidents.

Therefore, make sure to include an always active phone number. This will prevent any difficulty for the courier or delivery service to contact you.
