I rented a PO Box yesterday and put in change of addy. If I buy from Newegg, do I still put in my "real" addy?

As above, please.

I rented a POB yesterday and put in a change of address w/the post office. If I order some parts, I should still put the delivery address as my "real" addy, right?

Stupid question, I know...but I've never encountered this situation before!!! My programming was not updated with the proper response for this question...:confused:

FedEx won't ship to a PO box anyway.

Use your PO Box as well as your street address.

Only the USPS can use a PO Box (as far as I know). If you use FedEx, Airborne, UPS, etc., use your street address. Since only the USPS knows you filed a change of address form, the other carriers will deliver to your street address.

Airborne actually has a trippy service where they deliver to your servicing PO, then the USPS takes it from there and delivers it. Kind of wierd, but I had some contacts come like that.

Nah, I get owned in those threads. :( I try to stay away from them, unless they talk about taxes, industry or abortion...then I'm all over it. ;) J/K

billing address should match whats on file at the credit card company, so that probably wouldn't be changed yet either.
