I do, I live in an apartment.
I've noticed that most of the time the people who are shipping the item don't even put the address line 2 on the label.

Address Line 2 isn't for your apartment number, that goes in Address Line 1. Address Line 2 is for PO Boxes and c/os, although a lot of places ignore that anyway. It's pretty much useless.

i can see putting your apartment number in address line 2 if the rest of your address is pretty long

I don't know what line 2 is, addresses have lots of lines.

house number/name + building,
road name,
town name,
county name,
[country ][/country]
post code

That's how I write addresses anyway, and how they are on letters I get. I don't really understand!!

it might be different in the UK idk but in the US it's like

Person's Name
1111 Something Street
City, State Zipcode
Country if International

The second address line would go after the street information

I forgot person's name on a line at the top and maybe post code comes after country here too. I don't know. I don't really use "the snail mail"

XXXX Place st.
UPS Store, box #99999

It's good for things like that and apartments

The reason you'd send your mail to a box at the UPS store is because if you need a non-home mailing address you can ship things there that won't ship to a P.O. Box.

can't you also use "general delivery" if its going to a USPS instead of a PO box then?

Address line 1 is for C/O....

For instance..

Kenneth Finney
c/o Painted Perversion
805 Maltby St.
Jackson, MI 49201

Other wise, use Address Line 1 for your address, and ignore line 2...

I use address line 2 to tell a little joke, to bring some cheer into the postman's day, so it's like

wayne croft
81 zappa road
what do you call a man with a spade in his head? doug
high wycombe
Bucks
HP16 3DP

This isn't really related but kaworu's post made me think about how when my brother was a kid and the school would do magazine sales he'd always subscribe to a magazine and tick the box for esq. under title or w/e so we got mail to him with esquire for ages
