So I moved recently...3rd time in 14 months. I'm young and life's been a little hectic this past year! Frankly i feel like some kind of moving pro. So I recently sat down to start changing my address online with the places I can. I never realized it would be such a hassle.

See my new address has a 1/2 in it following the house number . I live in an apartment that is the upper level of a house and that's our VALID postal address. Unfortunatly computers won't accept it as address in some cases. I would write out the world half but I honestly don't think our mailman would notice. And for the first time ever in my life I don't trust our neighbors (the people downstairs) to return wrongly delivered mail.

THis means I can't enter some sweeps (they won't accept my address)...which I can deal with. But I'm frusterated that places like my credit card company won't accept it (atleast online). So I guess I'll be making some phone calls...it's just so much easier to do things online.

 If you can, get a UPS store mailbox, if there is one close. We have had issues since we are a rural box and others have had issues of certain JAs (ahem, Eprize) who can not seem to get past the "suburban ideology" of what is an address.

Most of them have special address and they accept UPS, Fed Ex and also DHL.
