I once sent a package to Curaçao. I bought postage online from USPS.
The package was delivered to Australia, as my local post office showed me on a printout, and lost forever.
The best I can figure out it, it was because I dared to use the accented 'ç' character in the country's name, and their computers were not able to handle this.

- jbrazile 11y agoHey, I live there too. On a recent visit to Boston I wanted to use my credit card to buy my wife a gift at Best Buy whose special price was internet-only for store pickup. For those of us whose credit card billing addresses have non-US addresses, their special magic address to get past the US-only address form is: 10780 Kempwood Dr. Houston, TX 77043 http://www.bestbuy.com/site/help-topics/international-orders/pcmcat204400050019.c?id=pcmcat204400050019 http://www.bestbuy.com/site/help-topics/international-orders...
- Anechoic 11y agoI once sent a package to Curaçao. I bought postage online from USPS. Click-N-Ship used to be able to handle Unicode characters but for some reason that was removed a few years ago. I always had success with it, but there must have been enough situations similar to yours that they decided to do away with it. It's a shame. Every time we get an order from Spain and the customer uses the superscript "o" in the address, I have to substitute (normal) "o" and pray that the package actually arrives.
