Posting purchase to legitimate work address

Is it okay to post a purchase to a work address as it's not the confirmed address? I seem to remember there is something against that. It shouldn't be a problem with this particular address but I just wondered.

Read the postage sticky. Are you sending tracked? Is it to the address on the transaction in Paypal?0

Sending tracked but not to the confirmed address which pulled through. It is a legitimate postal address though and the person obviously finds it easier to get his mail delivered to his work address. I just remember reading something before about doing this but I know it does suit some people better when not at home during the day. The buyer does have good feedback as a buyer and seller."For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone."0

Buyer has the option to change address when he pays by paypal. You should always post to the address shown in the paypal payment or you will not be covered if there are any discrepancies. Unless you hand deliver it and get paid in cash, you don't know if there will be a problem until its too late.Please do not quote spam as this enables it to 'live on' once the spam post is removed.

This, it's so easy to put a work address in as a registered address.Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily Dickinson

This is your call.

I almost always have things delivered to work, but I do it properly through PayPal/eBay rather than asking after the fact. Why wouldn't this buyer do the same?0
