Hi. I have a lot of Canadian buyers and a lot of them have their unique way constructing their delivery address. In the US, the standard addressing is:

Full Name
Street Address
City, State ZIP+4

What is the correct format for mail from USA to Canada? Is It:

Full Name
Street Address
City, Province X1X X1X
Canada

I sometimes see 6 character zip placed after Canada? Other times I see City, Zip, Province... :?

Canadian postal (zip) codes are alpha numeric and are always in the following order.

alpha-numeric-alpha space numeric-alpha-numeric

The proper way to write the address is:

Full Name
Street Address
City, Province X1X 1X1
Canada

The correct way is:

Name
Street Address, Apt. No. etc.
City, Province, Postal Code
Canada

although it will be delivered if you put the Postal Code on the 4th line same as if we put your ZIP on the 4th line.
