US Billing vs Shipping Address: What to Enter

US Billing vs Shipping Address: What to Enter

Last update on 08/20/2026, 10:30:49 AM

Billing address and shipping address describe two different parts of an online purchase. The billing address helps the merchant and payment provider verify the payment method. The shipping address tells the retailer and carrier where the parcel must be delivered. They can be identical, but international shoppers using a US package forwarding service will usually enter two different addresses.

Quick answer: enter the address registered with your card issuer or payment account in the billing fields. Enter your complete ViajaBox warehouse address in the shipping fields, including the exact suite identifier. Never replace your real billing address with the warehouse address merely because the store ships to the United States.

This distinction matters because a successful address entry does not guarantee payment approval. The merchant can review the card, billing address, shipping destination, order value, device information, product limits, and other fraud signals.

How to fill US address line 2 and suite number

Last update on 08/10/2026, 07:41:30 AM

Address Line 2 is the part of a US shipping address used for secondary delivery information, such as an apartment, suite, unit, room or customer identifier. When you shop through a package forwarding service, the suite number can connect an incoming parcel to your account. Entering it correctly helps the warehouse identify your order and prepare it for international forwarding.

Quick answer: Put the warehouse street address in Address Line 1. Put your exact suite identifier in Address Line 2. Then enter the city, state and ZIP Code exactly as provided by ViajaBox. If the store has only one street field, add the suite after the street address on that same line.
