Ok, I have to ship this watch to my Canadian buyer.

He sent his address in one format, BidPay sent it in a slightly different format. Which one should I use:

John Doe
333 Street Name
Nepean ON
CANADA
K2G 5Z3

or

John Doe
333 Street Name
Nepean ON K2G 5Z3
CANADA

First one is right.The postal code is always the last thing in the address.Hope this helps.

They will both work, but I most frequently see it as shown in your second example.

The second format is the standard method, probably because it is less confusing. Many countries have postal codes.

(edited to add - if mail is being sent from one place in Canada to another place in Canada, the word "Canada" is usually omitted and the postal code is then often moved to become the last line.)

Ditto to what Stockticker just said, but either/or will get it to your Canuck just fine.

Good morning Alberta!

From the Canada post web site

"The Postal Code must be in upper case and placed two spaces to the right of the province with one space between the first three and last three characters."

Thanks all...I don't want any mishaps with this package since I don't normally ship to Canada.
