Jibar struggles with the American address system: Help please
My friend is trying to get me into Magic: The Gathering after I was enthralled by the free booster pack that came in a magazine. I noted that in this same magazine was the offer of a free starter deck from UnleashMagic.com. I signed up, and have since played a couple games with him, enjoying myself immensely (We won 3 each. fear the might of the Rakdos!).
Now, an activation email has arrived and I've got to put in my address to get it. But of course, it's in American. This where I would like some help.
It's asking me for Street, and has given me two seperate boxes. I put just the street name in the top, but I don't know what the bottom is for.
There's then two boxes. These, which I don't understand at all.
Then there's Zip, where I've put in my Postal Code.
And finally city, which I believe is fine.
Any Americans think they can help?

Re: Jibar struggles with the American address system: Help please
Pretty simple. The BOX part refers to if you had a post office Box instead of an actual address. In that case, you'd put the box number you had.
I'm not quite sure what the N(degree) thing means. It might refer to your apartment or building number, maybe.If there's nothing out there, then what was that noise?

N(degree) is an Apartment # i believe.
Box is if you had a mailbox at the post office instead of at your address.
the 2 street boxes were in case you have a really long street name.
and u got Zip and City correct.Avatar by Lycunadari

Yah, just use the top street address box for your house number and street name. Leave the second blank unless said address is really long and can't fit all in the first one.
Me guess is the N(degree one) is Apartment #, so unless you live in an apartment I wouldn't worry. Box is Post Office Box, so once again unless you have one, worry not.

Re: Jibar struggles with the American address system: Help please
If you would, enlighten this American on how you normally do your addresses.
And yep I agree with everyone else. The US standard for mailing is:
Name
Address
Address continued (if needed)

The dutch do it this way:
Name
Street Number
Postal City
Country (optional when mailing inside the NL)
Example:
John Smith

0666 BS

Just for the sake of clarity, it's not N(degree) it's No. 'No.' is the abbreviation for 'number' for some reason. They just put the 'o' in superscript which is a pretty common way to do it.

Address box one is for your address. Address box two is for the other address where you have to park your several gas guzzling SUVs. Hey, it's the American way!
