おくりさき

noun

destination address; recipient address; shipping address

この荷物(にもつ)の送(おく)り先(さき)は自宅(じたく)ではなく会社(かいしゃ)にしてほしい。

I'd like the delivery destination for this package to be my office, not my home.

Composed of 送(おく)り (sending, from the verb 送(おく)る) and 先(さき) (destination, place ahead). The 先(さき) suffix is productive in Japanese for indicating the destination or counterpart of an action: 届(とど)け先(さき) (delivery address), 連絡先(れんらくさき) (contact information), 引(ひ)っ越(こ)し先(さき) (place one is moving to).

You will encounter this word when sending packages at the post office or a convenience store, filling out delivery forms (伝票(でんぴょう)), or shopping online. Japanese delivery slips typically have fields for both 送(おく)り先(さき) (recipient) and 依頼主(いらいぬし) or 送(おく)り主(ぬし) (sender).
