Posting to a mailpoint

Options
I have sold a low value item on marketplace,
Buyer has paid by bank transfer but the address he has given me is a mailpoint,
John Smith
Mailpoint 123
Manchester
AB123 45C

My main question is can I just post via evri (it's a large envelope)

Or does it need to be sent via the post office or anything different to normal?
Thanks!

    Have you Googled the postcode and the address? Chances are its a physical building that accepts post and parcels in the normal way a house does.

    The postage covers a range of business and a few houses.  There is a military base there that also has a few mailpoint numbers. 
    I'll send it via evri and hopefully the delivery driver will know what to do with it!

    Stick the address into Evri (as if getting a quote) and see if it comes up.  If it does, they should deliver to it.  If not, they won't.
