Silly phone didn't reply to all.

In the US they are 2 different things.  Many businesses have a box at the post office for letter and bills and a physical address should you want to ship a package back to them.  That said, labeling them differently shouldn't cause problems - but a librarian should answer

Hi,
   Acquisitions vendor addresses come in two variants "physical" and 
"postal" addresses. Confronted by these generates a lot of confusion in 
new users (A postal address is a physical address? When do we use one 
and not the other?) They are also stored differently in the table but 
presented similarly to the user in edit operations. I'm not clear what 
functional difference these addresses should have, but I'd like to 
switch to less misleading labels. Even 'address' and 'alternative 
address' would be an improvement. Looking to see if their any insights, 
opinions etc from anyone using (or looking to use) acquisitions.

Colin
