Choosing a return address for a Shopify dropshipping store

You should get a PO box or a virtual address. That way you can keep your home address private. Until you get the new address setup you can just use the address of the post office which is closest to you. I had been doing that for a while until my sales started growing and I was ready to switch to a virtual address.

I prefer to keep my privacy so I use a P.O. box and not my home address.

I use my home address. Don't see any reason not to since if a client would want to locate me he could do it anyway. I use Shopify for printing the labels and a carrier picks the packages from my doorstep. Saves me time and money - no virtual address and no trips to the post office.

P.O. Box works well for me. A small one only costs 3$ a month. I am using my PO Box number with the post office address for shipping and returns. When big packages arrive I get a notice from the post office to come and pick it up.
