Go to the USPS website (presuming it's a US order) and find the page for how addresses should be formatted. Some vendors link to it from their vendor pages. Then just put your address in the address box (encrypted, obviously); leave out the "please send to:" and the product, so the vendor can just put the address straight onto a label with no hassle.

I wouldn't put what you've ordered in your address!

Most vendors will copy and paste what you've written for your address and this will go straight on the package.

That looks fine, but use all capital letters and remove all punctuation.

and do not include your order details, just write your address in this fashion. Also, use encryption

Some like you to put the +4 as well like:
I've seen some vendors ask that you not put the address in all capital letters (though I'm not sure why; that is the proper way to format it per usps site).

If including other info, I'd put a couple blank lines between any other data and your address just for clarity.
