I never understood why this guideline even matters. The shop is all about what happens at the post office where the mailing process starts, not where it's delivered(as long as it's not zone 0). Every question on the report would be still be applicable if the destination were a p.o. box.
I agree and would like the option of using a PO Box once in a while also. I have to believe that part of the data that the MSC collects for the client is delivery times, on-time rate, mis-routed rate, late arrivals, etc. This would be a small sampling, but could be useful to the client. One thing I have noticed is that none of my shops get "approved" until the package is delivered...perhaps this is a coincidence, or maybe it is the tracking data collection aspect. Then again, maybe they don't do any of this data point collection at all...
