Shipping Address
 
Shipping to alternate addresses
 
Credit Card payments:
 
All products must be shipped to the billing address of the credit card unless the second address has been added to the credit card as a verified address (We do NOT ship to PO Boxes unless they are APO addresses). The reason for adding secondary addresses is because your credit card company sends bills to the billing address only and any other address is not valid unless your credit card company has it on file. This is done for your protection as well as ours and there is no exceptions. DO NOT assume that because the credit card goes through and you get a confirmation screen that the order will be processed. It will not be processed unless everything matches correctly. Hundreds of other major corporations also follow these rules online as well.
 
PayPal payments:
 
Orders paid via PayPal can only be shipped to the address that is sent with your PayPal payment confirmation,  If you want your purchase shipped to another address, you must contact PayPal to change the shipping address on your account before buying the item or making your payment. You must have a Street Address to receive Shipment - We cannot ship to P.O. boxes.
