I'm new to this board and was hoping for some advice please from the more experienced members.
I've read most of the stuff already posted in this forum, so I think I have a good idea about buying from abroad, but ideally I'd like to order goods to be sent to my work address in London rather than my home address (the life of a married man!!).
Can any of you tell me if this is possible given that the companies seem to insist on mailing items to the credit card billing address? Are there any companies which allow you to pay by using a service such as Paypal?
Also, I know this is mainly a DVD forum, but any advice on buying films on VHS (Pal format obviously) - best online sites, anywhere in London? etc - would also be gratefully received. I'm particularly interested in films starring Gauge, so I'd love to hear from anyone who has any tapes they'd like to sell.

Do you realy want it delivered at work?

Why not take the train to SOHO at a lunchtime? Sure you pay a little more perhaps but it could save your job :)

There is absolutely no way I would have porn sent to work. The package might arrive damaged allowing others to see whats inside, or worse still the package might be accidently opened by other staff. You would have a much harder time explaining yourself at work than to your wife.

However, if you are looking to buy from the US, I do know that Five Star will deliver to another address but I believe they will require a fax of a credit card billing statement (you can black out other purchases etc). Its so that they can verify that you are using a valid credit card.
