受 取 先(うけとりさき)

うけとりさき

noun

recipient; receiving party; delivery address

1. recipient; receiving party; place of receipt

The person, company, or location that receives goods, money, or a delivery. A form-filling and business term rather than conversational vocabulary.

I changed the pickup location to a convenience store.

The recipient's address was wrong, so the package came back.

Formed from 受(う)け取(と)る (to receive) plus 〜先(さき), the suffix that names the other party or destination of an action.

送(おく)り先(さき): destination for sending — the same delivery seen from the sender's side
宛先(あてさき): addressee — the address written on the item itself
取引先(とりひきさき): business partner — a parallel 〜先(さき) compound worth learning alongside this one
