How do you layout the postal address when posting to the U.S from the UK?

Question

I've never sent a letter to the U.S before and I have recieved an address but I don't know how to lay it out, the reason I'm confused is the way the address was passed on looked a little odd in it's layout.

e.g.

700 'Street Name' | Charlotte , NC USA | 00000

I wouldn't of thought I could post that as a straight line format on an envelope because in the UK our format is.....

Street Name

District

City

Region

Country

Post Code

Answer 1

Bob Smith

700 Street Name

Charlotte, NC 00000

USA

Also, put your return address in the upper left hand corner of your envelope/package.

Answer 2

Hi there,

I send letters to the US all the time and just use the same system that we use here in the UK.

They always arrive, make sure the state and zip code are clearly marked
