How to Fill in Your Address in English for the Sky: Children of the Light Badge Shop
The Sky: Children of the Light (光遇) Badge Shop allows players to purchase physical merchandise such as pins, badges, and other collectibles tied to the game. Since the shop ships internationally, many players outside English-speaking countries need to fill in their shipping address in English. Here's a practical guide on how to do it correctly.
Understand the Address Format
Most international shops, including the Sky Badge Shop, follow a Western address format that goes from the smallest unit to the largest:
- Full Name (Recipient)
- Street Address (House number + street name)
- Apartment/Unit/Room number (if applicable)
- City
- State/Province
- Postal/ZIP Code
- Country
Key Terms You'll Encounter
- Address Line 1: Your main street address (e.g., "No. 123, Zhongshan Road" → "123 Zhongshan Road")
- Address Line 2: Apartment, suite, unit, building, floor, or dormitory info
- City: Your city name (use pinyin for Chinese cities, e.g., "Beijing," "Shanghai")
- State/Province: Your province (use pinyin, e.g., "Guangdong," "Zhejiang")
- ZIP/Postal Code: Your 6-digit Chinese postal code
- Country: "China" (do NOT write "PRC" alone; "China" is clearest)
Practical Tips for Chinese Players
- Write in pinyin, not Chinese characters. International shipping systems and carriers cannot process Chinese characters reliably.
- Order matters. In English addresses, the house number comes before the street name: "Room 501, Building 3, 88 Nanjing Road" → Address Line 1: "Building 3, Room 501, 88 Nanjing Road."
- Keep it simple. Avoid overly detailed or redundant descriptions. Use the standard format your local post office recognizes in English.
- Double-check your postal code. An incorrect postal code is the most common cause of lost international packages.
- Include a phone number. Most international shops require a contact phone number for customs and delivery. Write it with the country code: +86 followed by your number.
Example
Suppose your address is: 中国广东省深圳市南山区科技园南路15号3栋502室 ，邮编518057 ，姓名张三，电话13800138000.
Fill it in as:
- Full Name: Zhang San
- Address Line 1: Building 3, Room 502, 15 Kejiyuan South Road
- Address Line 2: Nanshan District
- City: Shenzhen
- State/Province: Guangdong
- ZIP/Postal Code: 518057
- Country: China
- Phone: +86 13800138000
Final Checklist Before Submitting
- All fields filled in pinyin/English
