Shipping item to Netherlands, problem with language!!??

if I want to ship somthing from USA to Netherlands/Holland, should I write address I ship to in English or Dutch??

Write everything in English. All of the postal workers write, read and understand English (and other languages). It is a part of their job and culture. If you try to do it in Dutch, you may make a mistake and they would never get the package.

I ship something at least once a month to Holland from California. When I lived in Holland I shipped things to California. I always used English as the language of choice.

I would write the address in English to avoid all kind of mistakes, that can happen when using a language not so many know.

If the person you're sending it to has a Dutch name, and the street name is in Dutch, write those in Dutch, but you can write Netherlands
for the country. "Holland" is the same in Eng. and Dutch. It'll get there. They know a lot of English over there.

as long as you get the postal code correct, the country and the number, it will arive no matter what language you put on the box.

It doesn't matter.
