	I recently used my credit card to order some HiFi
	equipment for a friend. In order to avoid the trouble
	of lugging the equipment over to his place I tried
	to have the Mail order store ship it direct to my
	friend's address.

	This apparently is not possible. The merchandise has
	to be shipped to the registered address of the card-
	holder and no other. In fact it has to be the billing
	address. However, I do get the feeling that if a
	thug (person with questionable morals) and a business
	connive, it would perhaps be possible to charge goods
	illegally.

This is not true for my VISA card. I have had stuff sent to addresses
other than my billing address and have even loaned my card to a friend
who just told the salesperson that he was using a friend's card, but
gave his own name and address.
