Beware...
Amazon.com makes no distinction between "SHIPPING" and "MAILING"...
I have a P.O. Box because my house is on a major 4 lane highway... Not to mention a major intersection. My neighbors mailbox has been mowed down 10 times in 8 years and only once did the drivers insurance company (progressive) bother to locate or reimburse her for the box and post.
I simply did not replace mine the first time it got mowed down.
As a result... You cannot MAIL to my home address and obviously you cannot SHIP to my PO Box.
MAILING and SHIPPING are NOT the same thing.
The distinction is clear. You cannot SHIP to a mailbox or PO Box.
It would be easy for Amazon.com to clarify this but they won't. They make the point of telling you on the "shipping" (as they call it) page that you can't choose the method. Fine place to state that their version of "shipping" includes MAILING, but they don't.
There is no way for you to know whether they are SHIPPING or MAILING, therefor, you have no way of knowing what address to provide.
Congratulations Amazon.com on a world record time at pissing off... Not to mention losing a customer.
