a friend of mine( wink wink) wants to buy a radio,but doesnt want the Mrs. to know. copper will only ship to the address on the credit card, and he is afraid UPS will come when he is at work. other than sending a check in the mail and waiting for ever for it to arrive at his friends address, what's he to do? I told him he should pay the FRIEND and have him order it on HIS credit card. any other suggetions? aj

You could always tell your "FRIEND" to order it from copper COD to their work address and pay the extra 6 bucks COD fee which is worth it to buy the radio as a gift for the MRS as I am sure thats why you dont want her to know about it ;)

Applejack,

Good Idea!

The reason Copper does this is because they have received many orders in the past for items useing stolen Credit cards and was out the Money when Credit Card Companies came back and voided sales.

This happens quite frequently as I just had to go thru this and Inform the Forummaster that one of the cards our company uses somehow had almost 11.000.00 charged to it in 24 hours.

Luckly for us Capital One called and asked if we were using it and I said no and they blocked account instantly and cancelled accout and issued new cards.

Now there is a lot of people out there who will not get paid for what they had already shipped.

It amazed me that they called at 9 pm CDT to alert us.

The credit card Insurance was well worth it or we would of had to pay for this.

Guess I just never thought it would be me.

Just my 2 cents worth as the Forummaster and I was just talking about this in the last 24 hours before your post.
