Good question. There's only so much room on 4x6 labels. Also I haven't seen a shipping solution that automatically prints customer notes on label. As for address lines, UPS has a finite amount of characters per line before they drop off.
- nathancahill 9y agoI use a mail service the requires 1 or 2 lines more than a normal address. It's a huge pain filling out shipping address forms online to include the extra info. A lot of it ends up in the Name field. Truncation is also a problem when the label printers truncate more than the form validation. All of my future projects will have 5 line shipping address forms.
- cmg 9y agoSlightly off topic, but reminded me of an issue I had with Amazon for months. I work for a small agency, the name of which begins with "Box" and then a number. No matter where I put it in the delivery address, Amazon (or the delivery service) would change the business name to "PO Box ..." I ended up working around it by removing all spaces from the business name in my shipping address.
- eric_h 9y agoHa, must have been a pain for companies that require a real, physical address for whatever. I have most certainly interacted with APIs that had that requirement, and their regexes for refusing PO Boxes were generous, to put it lightly.
