Hi Imar and Ricardo,
I'm not sure if there is a bug, but correct me if I'm wrong :)
The primary and secondary addresses are also swapped here. I used the address from the email from Imar:
Address PO BOX 2203
Secondary address ACCOUNTS PAYABLE
Postal code 94026-2203
City MENLO PARK
Country United States of America
Region California
Is changed by Avalara to:
Address ACCOUNTS PAYABLE
Secondary address PO BOX 2203
Postal code 94026-2203
City MENLO PARK
Country United States of America
Region California

BUT isn’t it corrected to the “right” format – with Account payable as primary and PO Box as secondary?
I found a Cisco PO Box address with Accounts Payable as primary (as after the Avalara correction).
Mailing address:
[Insert Cisco entity]
Accounts Payable
PO Box #696024
San Antonio, TX 78269
Address is found here:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/about/supplier-information/access-non-manufacturing-supplier-connection/existing-supplier-guidelines-information/accounts-payable-information/invoice-payment.html
I have tried with the address in the example from Ricardo and it’s also reproduced and gets this new address:
R&D Dept
223 Lake Dr
19702-3320 Newark
United States
Delaware
I have googled US address formats and found this page:
http://www.bitboost.com/ref/international-address-formats/united_states/
JOHN "GULLIBLE" DOE
CENTER FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO DEPOSED NIGERIAN ROYALTY
421 E DRACHMAN
TUCSON AZ 85705-7598
USA
Here the format is also listed with a “department” before the address.
Another page from USPS with a tip:
--If you can’t fit the suite or apartment number on the same line as the delivery address, put it on the line ABOVE the delivery address, NOT on the line below.
http://pe.usps.com/businessmail101/addressing/deliveryAddress.htm
I guess that this is why R&D Dept is swapped to the first line.
Kind regards,
Merethe
