Wrong Address

So I am shipping a record to a guy and he gives me his address as something like this

407 Main Street
schiller park apt 10
illinois, chicago, 60131

Apt # goes after the street, in normal circumstances.
Schiller Park is an independent town, not a Chicago neighborhood.
City, state, zip is the convention.

Then his paypal shows an equally wrongly written address.

So I email and ask how do you want your address to appear on the package.
Exactly as I showed you, and gives the poorly written address again.

How do I tell him, No! I am fixing the address?

    It is possible you will correct his poorly written address, then mail the record,
    only to have it sent back to you because the address you wrote is unknown or doesn't exist

    According to Google Maps this address does not exist (even if written correctly, or just in Schiller Park, IL, or just in Chicago, IL). I would email him again and ask him what is going on.

    I was about to post that same thing. No luck on google maps.

    Sorry for the confusion. I changed the actual address. I changed the street name and moved it to a different Chicago suburb to protect the customers identity.

    In that case, look the real address up on Google maps, and see what it is actually supposed to be. Then just use that address. As long as the record gets to dude he should be happy.
