I know that UPS and FedEx won't ship to PO boxes. However, some stores won't ship to PO boxes even if they use the postal service. This may be one of those stores. Maybe I'm just in a rotten mood having been trying to make a simple camera purchase for a week, and having met with lies, misinformat

When a mail order merchant ships a product to an address other than the billing address they assume a certain amount of risk. Most are willing to deal with that risk if at least the billing address matches the card. Consider the worst case scenario: A customer orders a product. Billing address

Because they have a deal with UPS. A daily pickup account gets them 1/2 to 2/3 off the retail UPS rate. And because customer service is not a term they understand except in the vaguest way. To ship to a PO box they have to make a trip to the PO or pay extra for pickup. graywolf http://www.gray
