Tips for Abbreviating USPS Shipping Addresses

Keep in mind that not all characters have the same "width". There are instances where the to/from address is cut off, even though the address fits within the character requirements. In these instances, please cancel the label, and rebuy it. When you re-buy, make sure to abbreviate the field wherever possible.

If you are having trouble meeting the character requirements, we recommend you abbreviate where possible. Here are some suggested abbreviations:

N	North	Rd	Road
S	South	St	Street
E	East	Ct	Court
W	West	Ln	Lane
