So I'm going through the process of ordering a G27 from Ratuken.com (formerly buy.com), a BenQ GL2450HM from the BenQ site, and an Obutto oZone from mainperformancepc.com.

For some reason every one of these websites are telling me I can't ship to an alternate address then what's on my bank card. I've called the bank, had the alternative address added yet I'm still getting hassled over not sending it to the original address. I understand the whole fraud concept but after proper verification I should be able to ship wherever I want.

Anyone else ever have trouble with online shopping?
 
I'm pretty sure the problem is that you did not put the billing address down right. All of the online stores that I use are fine with a different address to ship to. Though you could try registering for a paypal account and add your bank account(paypal will take up to 2-4 days to send vertification information). I always use paypal and I don't have problems ordering online.
 
I've never had issues shopping online because I've always used Paypal.

Only time I've shopped online without Paypal is when I got a new debit card which is now a VISA/Debit, which basically allows me to treat my card number as a VISA card when doing online shopping.

I put the address in correctly. I have a bank account that's tied to my dads address and I want the stuff shipped to my house. I don't want the address changed because I honestly just don't want people in my household snooping through my mail.

Hi Brandon,

We only ship to the billing address of the credit card, we cannot call your bank to verify any information, as they will simply only provide Yes/No answers and will not give any information regarding addresses, etc. You'll have to place your order again, since the order was cancelled, it may take 2-4 business days for the pending authorization to disappear from your online banking system.

What can I say? It has always worked for me. I buy and sell through paypal. You may have to purchase your items through a different bank, credit card, or if those are not options they will have to be shipped to your parent's house than your house..

Well I was wrong. BenQ let me ship the Monitor to my house. I updated the address on Rakuten on Saturday, It was actually the first thing that got take care of, and it still hasn't shipped. Everything else has and will be here Friday, I'm off Friday and work Sarurday. Then vacation starts Sunday. Looks like I will have a racing cockpit, monitor and no steering wheel all weekend. Lol
