I'm looking for a good online retailer for computer hardware. I would tell anyone else to use NewEgg, but as good as their service is, they will not use the USPS - so no mailing to post office boxes. And since I don't have a "real" address, I can't order from anyone who won't ship to a PO Box or allow the shipping address to be different from the billing address.

So what companies would you recommend that I can use?

**** , really gotta use a PO box, eh? Hmm...

Check out http://pricewatch.com. Some of the dealers that show up could be really shady, so check out http://www.resellerratings.com before buying.

NewEgg accepts different addresses for shipping and billing, last time I checked. If that 'or' means 'and', then what Emon said.

I only know ones in the UK like aria.co.uk or overclock.co.uk I suspect the shipping charges will be quite high..

NewEgg definitely does not ship to PO boxes - I know because I've already tried. http://forums.massassi.net/html/frown.gif

I'll look at Tiger. Thanks for the replies. http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif

Ah, my mistake. http://forums.massassi.net/html/redface.gif But I've called them already to make sure, and the address you give NewEgg must be on file with the your credit card's issuer.

Do you have any friends with a real address? Couldn't you just ship it to them, pay them for it, and have them give it to you?
