Adorama also asked me to do something like that, but when I refused, I found out my stuff had already been shipped. They are not as stupid as B&H apparently. After the first time, I just said 'repeat customer' and no problemo. However, I don't know if they would ship to other than the cc address. Funny thing is, B&H claims they do this because of some scammers in Phillipines. Well, sorry guys, but Japan ain't the Phillipines. I've never heard of any scam from there either. I got an expensive lens cheaper from Adorama than buying it in Japan, and the includes shipping by courier, and 5% duty tax. I still saved 20%. American enjoys the best prices anywhere in the world. However, I did buy my 10d in Japan because of the warranty and it was almost the same price. I bought many other things from Adorama while i was in Japan, monopod, filters, etc. -- Jim Davis, Owner, Eastern Beaver Company http://easternbeaver.com/ Relay Kits - Powerlet Products - Posi-Lock Products Wiring Kits, Fusebox Kits, Parts, Information
