(そうふさき)

そうふさき
noun
mailing address; destination address (for shipping or forwarding)
1. mailing address; shipping address; recipient's address
The address to which documents, parcels, or other materials are to be sent. Standard term on shipping labels, order forms, and business correspondence.
送付先(そうふさき)入力(にゅうりょく)する。
To enter the mailing address.
送付先(そうふさき)間違(まちが)えてしまった。
I ended up entering the wrong mailing address.
書類(しょるい)送付先(そうふさき)下記(かき)のとおりです。
The address for sending the documents is as follows.
注文(ちゅうもん)()に、送付先(そうふさき)請求先(せいきゅうさき)(べつ)指定(してい)することができる。
At the time of ordering, you can specify a shipping address separate from the billing address.

Compound of 送付(そうふ) ('sending; dispatch') and the suffix (さき) ('destination; recipient'). The (さき) suffix is highly productive and forms 'destination/target' nouns: 連絡先(れんらくさき) ('contact address'), 請求先(せいきゅうさき) ('billing address'), 取引先(とりひきさき) ('business partner'), 勤務先(きんむさき) ('place of employment').

USAGE:
Appears on shipping and order forms, in business letters, and in email signatures. In e-commerce it typically refers to the physical shipping address; in business correspondence it may refer to the address to which documents should be mailed.
