Default USPS "General Delivery"

Learned a new one today. USPS General Delivery. Sold a card to a dude and his address was

General Delivery
Minneapolis, MN

Huh?

Looked it up. Can't believe I have never heard of this once in my life.


What is General Delivery?

General Delivery is a mail service for those without a permanent address, often used as a temporary mailing address.

General Delivery is a mail service for those without a permanent address, often used as a temporary mailing address. General Delivery is intended to be used for:

Post Office™ locations without city carrier delivery service.
Non-city delivery offices for those who prefer not to use Post Office Box service and for whom use of Post Office box, Caller Service, or delivery by letter carrier, would be an unreasonable inconvenience.
A participating Post Office to serve transients (people who travel extensively) and those without a permanent address.
Anyone who wants Post Office box service when Post Office boxes are unavailable.

How do I address a mailpiece sent to General Delivery?

NAME
GENERAL DELIVERY
CITY STATE ZIP
