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.
