Physical Address?

By iamcool

Okay, this company is about to send me this package (quite a big of a box) with FedEx. And they said that they needed my physical address as they ship FedEx ground. Now I only have P.O Box, and i know for a fact that PO BOX is super small, and box wouldn't fit in it anyway. So I need my physical address. Can somebody tell me if posting my physical address would be reliable? Should I put my phone number as well? And people said that when it has arrived here in Qatar, the package will be delievered to the main post office (Corniche) and QPOST will phone you to collect the package, is that true?

Please do tell me more about this physical address thing a little bit more. Is this reliable? Will QPOST Doha phone me back to collect the parcel?

I need reply ASAP.

Give your home address or any address. FedEx will call you to say where are you located anyways. You can tell them that you like to pick it up from their office, this is faster option, So make sure that you mobile number is on the address info.

Fedex will never your deliver your parcel to your P.O.BOx. Give your physical address - flat #, Bldg.No, Street Name & City. A contact telephone number is a must. Ask the sender to give you the tracking number once the parcel is dispatched.

You can use your physical address - be generous in giving landmarks.

Don't forget to put your mobile number on the package. FedEx will call once the package reaches Doha and you can guide them to your destination.

You can also call the local FedEx office / partner to confirm.

I have done this using Aramex and Skycom and have had no problem.
