PO Box Lookup-Finding A Business Or Person Through Their Post Office Box

FOR BUSINESSES: Good for revealing the business behind the blind job ad, for backgrounding fraudulent businesses, or for any business thatï¿½s hard to investigate. Find the name of the business, whether they do business under assumed names, and who else theyï¿½re connected with. Also good for finding the physical location of the PO box and at times, the name of the PO Box Owner.

FOR INDIVIDUALS: Good for finding the physical location of the PO box and at times, the name of the PO Box Owner. May also lead to websites or chat rooms frequented by the individual or those they're connected with.

Strategy: On Google, enter the PO Box #, state and Zip Code to learn the name of the PO Box Owner or Business. Several names may turn up which could either identify your subject or reveal who they're associated with. Then background all your relevant leads.

Example

Suppose you receive junk mail from a new business called The Matrix. Their flyer says they do home repair and that they're located at Post Office Box 12345ï¿½ NY, NY 10022.

But when you Google "Matrix and "home repair" you find no one's ever heard of them. And your search with the Better Business Bureau and Secretary of State gets you nothing.

Approach

Google the PO Box # State and Zip Code exactly as shown below.

"PO Box 12345" NY 10022 (Always put the PO Box # in quotes and abbreviate the state)

Next, eliminate all irrelevant hits. Hits which don't have the correct PO box and Zip Code all in the same paragraph, should be ignored.

Note: You may still get multiple returns.
This could mean the company or individual is using a different name or, that the data has been posted in different places. It could also be that your search has turned up the prior owner of the PO Box. The important thing is to find a business, person, physical address or phone number, i.e. anything you can further investigate.

See Also US Postal Form To Obtain Physical Address of PO or Drop Box (For Service of Legal Process)

Is The Address A Concealed PO Box or Mail Drop?
An address may list the word "Suite" or "Apartment" to disguise that it's really a concealed mail drop. Below is a partial list of mail drops and other non-physical addresses. Stop looking if your address appears there. But donï¿½t assume the address is real because it wasn't found in the first place you looked. No listing is by any means complete. So it pays to search all of them.

Step 1 (Search For Address in The Listings Below)

In Google Maps enter the word "mail" and the Zip Code of the address you're looking for.
Example: Mail 30319

At left a partial directory of drop boxes will appear. If you see your address, stop searching for it's not a physical address at all. Note: Youï¿½ll get pages and pages of addresses, but do not search past the Zip Code youï¿½re looking for. (Usually the first page or two). To see the Zip Code of an address, simply click on the blue link. The Zip Code will appear on the Map.

US PO Box & Drop Box Directory

Find the Locations of over 40,000 Drop Boxes (UPS, Staples, Office Depot, etc.)
Ignore all other fields and enter in only the Zip Code of the address you want to verify. A huge list will appear, but you can stop looking if youï¿½ve searched all locations within your Zip Code. Ignore all other fields and enter in only the Zip Code of the address you want to verify. Stop looking if you've searched all locations within your Zip Code.
Directory of US Post Offices
Under options, select, "Post Office Locations", ignore all other fields and search by Zip Code only. If you don't find the address, go back to options, select "Automated Postal Centers and search again.
UPS Store Locator
Enter in the Zip Code. If you find the address, it's not a real physical address.

Remailing Services-A Directory of Mail Drops & Mail Boxes
Select city and state to see if your address is listed as a mail drop.

Step 2

If You Can't Find The Address, Google the Main Part in Quotes.

Often this will reveal the address to be a UPS, Staples or Mailboxes Etcetera location.
For example, the address below is a concealed drop box that was missing from many of the drop box directories.

US Postal Form To Obtain Physical Address of PO or Drop Box (For Service of Legal Process)

3522 Ashford Dunwoody Rd., Ste. 141
Atlanta, GA 30319

With the main part in quotes, do a Google search with
"3522 Ashford Dunwoody" (omit rd dr, city, or state, etc.)

Note the 8^th entry down shows this is just a UPS location.

Step 3:

Still Unsure? Then Ask The Post Office What Type Of Address This Is.
If you have an address and are not sure what it is, or if it's even a real address, then go to The US Post Office Website and look up the address and phone # for the post office that delivers to the address. Then call that post office and ask them if they know what's located at that address. Simply ask if it is a residential address, or if it's an office building of some sort. Also ask if they know if the address is a Commercial Mail Receiving Agency (CMRA) like a Mailboxes Etc. or UPS Store. The post office is not required to answer these types of questions, but they can if they want to. 90% of the time they'll tell you what you need to know.

Simply send a stamped envelope to the person's last known address and include your return address on the top left corner of the envelope like in a normal letter. Then just below your return address be sure to include these magic words "Return Service Requested" These buzz words are called an endorsement. When the Post Office receives the letter with the endorsement, they'll send it back to you along with the person's new forwarding address.

Googling An Address
You can never predict if the search engines will pick up all or just a portion of the address . Therefore, start with as little as possible. Add more terms only if you get too many irrelevant hits. For example: If your neighbor's address is 2422 Morosgo Ct NE, Atlanta, GA 30324

First Enter

2422 Morosgo

If you get too many hits or irrelevant returns, try

"2422 Morosgo" (put the phrase in quotes to narrow your search)

Also try

"2422 Morosgo Ct"
"2422 Morosgo Court"
"2422 Morosgo Ct" Atlanta

and finally

"2422 Morosgo" NE Atlanta

In addition, you can then background any business, organization or individual associated with this address.

To Find Out Where They Work

At first put in their full email address.
If you get no hits, try a partial address.

If it appears to be a business email address, (not Yahoo or Hotmail or Bellsouth, etc.),
Google just the last part of the address to get where they work.

For example: if the address is "firestone@dol.state.ga.us"

Googling "@dol.state.ga.us" gets you information on both " the company, as well as the employees who work there.

see for example,

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%40dol.state.ga.us&btnG=Google+Search

Likewise:

Nothing turns up when you Google "johnsmith@accmhs.allegan.mi.us"

But search for "@accmhs.allegan.mi.us"

and you'll see he works at a community health center in Allegheny, PA. From there you may be able to find him in the company directory or background him through city, state and county records.

To Find Them By Their Other Email Addresses

Suppose you're looking for an old school friend, but the most recent hits are from 2001. Or maybe, you get only recent information and want to know their past.

For more leads, just Google the first part of their email address.

For example:

"zbdubin"

This works because as creatures of habit, people will often use the same combination of numbers or letter regardless of whether they're @ Yahoo, Bellsouth or Hotmail.

While tracking an old acquaintance from the Lenox School,

I came across her email
z bdubin @comcast.net (not her real email address)

Googling it got limited results.

However, googling just the prefix
"zbdubin" got me

z bdubin @attbi.com

z bdubin @optonline.net

These links gave me valuable clues as to where she works, where she went to camp and who she's married to.

Find Or Background Old Classmates-Step By StepFinding old friends Finding old classmates Alumni search classmate
background backgrounding almuni lookup
Use the online phone books if you know their name and location and just want to call them. Otherwise, you'll need to learn more by backgrounding them. Backgrounding helps eliminate false leads, such as when their name is very common, or you get hits in many states. It's also good for finding married or divorced women who may now have a different surname.

1. Find them on Facebook Myspace, Twitter, etc. Female classmates can often be found by both their maiden and married names. Select 2-3 people you remember and look them up on Facebook. Still not sure if the fat balding guy is the same guy you used to have lunch with? To confirm you have the right person, see if he lists any classmates that both of you know.

Facebook allows you to "View Friends" to see all of their Facebook friends, If this is your former classmate, you're bound to know some of them. or at least find that many of his friends are from the same city and state where you both met each other. Otherwise it just may be the wrong guy. The great thing is they never need to know you were scoping them out. Unless, of course, you decide to add them as one of your friends. Even without doing so, you'll still be able to view their photo and see the city and state they now live in. At that point you can use non-Facebook sources to either contact them or further background them.

To find more classmates you both know in common, see Finding their Friends, Associates & Relationships. The Alumni Section or alumni association of your school's Home Page may have the classmate's address, email address or phone number. If your subject is a woman who has divorced or married, it may even list her new surname.

1B. Can't find your alumni section? Look around for their site's search engine (many schools have them) and type in the word Alumni Then search for their alumni directories or associations. If you cannot find your school's homepage, go directly to Google and type the school's name in quotes, i.e. "Tulane University".

Next, do a Google Search for your subject's last name within the website itself. (Google can sometimes find things within a site faster than the site's own search engine!). Search Here to Google the websites of major universities. Or, just enter the last name in the Find Results box and then enter your school's website address lower down to the right of the "domain" box. (leave out the "http" or "www") This may tell you if they've been married, where they live, or give you other news such as their profession, births, deaths, etc.

2. Age lookup sites are far more comprehensive than Internet phone books. (Omit state and search with and without middle initial). These will often list the subjectï¿½s age along with the cities and states where they once lived or currently reside. Sometimes they'll include a middle name or even who they live with! Note that with US Search you just click on your target name for the cities and states where the person lived or now resided in. If none of them are familiar, you probably have the wrong person and should click on your next lead. Try several age look up sites. ZabaSearch might even return a current address or phone number.
