Hi guys...

Have read the site for a while but have only just signed up...

Basically my dad is in the states at the moment and I want to order something off https://www.newegg.com and have it dispatched to him over there...he has an address which he will be at for a few months in texas...

anyway...how do i go about ordering off american websites? he's coming back next week to visit and I need a laptop

if they let you

http://www.newegg.com/CustomerService/AddressVerification.asp

Address verification is a precautionary measure Newegg.com performs to ensure your safety and deter fraudulent activity. The nature of online shopping does not permit us to request a traditional form of identification, such as a driver's license, like a standard brick & mortar store. We instead conduct address verification through your credit/debit card issuer to confirm your identify and verify the validity of your purchase, ultimately protecting your credit and privacy.
If you wish to ship to an address other than your billing address, please contact your issuing bank and have your shipping destination added as an authorized alternate ship-to address in the record/memo field. We will contact your bank using the bank number you have provided to verify this information after you've placed an order. Please allow an extra day to verify any alternate ship-to address.
Both your billing and shipping addresses must be verified before an order will ship. If you encounter any trouble when attempting to add an alternate shipping address, let the card issuer know that you are placing an online order and that the retailer must verify your personal information before shipment to eliminate the possibility of fraud. Then, simply give us a call at 1-800-390-1119 to let us know and we will re-attempt address verification to complete the processing of your order.
Orders with the same billing and shipping address are more likely to ship same-day.

I've just been in contact with paypal UK...there is no way of getting a confirmed delivery address in the states...so I can't order off that site! argg

Only options I can think of are

1. Get someone who lives in the states who knows my dad to order it for him

2. Find a US site that will accept UK crredi cards...do these exsist???
