Just tried to do a purchase with cheapbowlingballs but they refuse to accept my Paypal because I did not select a shipping address on the website (my P O Box was the only one to select there).  I understand where they are coming from but I have over 50+ purchases made on this site using Paypal and this is the first problem I have encountered this way.  Wanted to have the balls shipped to my work address since it was a joint purchase with a co-worker.

I cant recommend them at this point in time.

Updated:

Went back to Paypal site and added my work address as the billing address for my credit card and had no problems putting my order through.  I still dont understand how my work address can be 'verified' when no one checked it out (order went through the same day the address change was made) and it is not my billing address.  This is not directed at cheapbowlingballs.com but rather at Paypal as I consider this issue to be a security fault.

Cheapbowlingballs originally sent out the wrong balls but did re-ship the correct order and paid for shipping the wrong balls back to them.  I will now recommend them for anyone considering buying from them.  Good service and communications with the company.

Please help me out .. was your PLACE OF BUSINESS (POB) a POST OFFICE BOX (POB) and CHEAPBOWLINGBALLS was refusing to deliver to it? In this case they were refusing to deliver to a POST OFFICE BOX and not a PLACE OF BUSINESS .. is this correct??????

from my understanding they were refusing to ship to his place of business. His PO Box is listed in his paypal account as confirmed, but his work address is not listed at all. So he tried to contact them to see if they would ship to his work address.

To top it off, I don't know if they would even ship the ball anyways. I assume it would ship via UPS, and they won't ship to a P.O. Box.

Chaz...yep...that was it...thought it was a ball, but I was wrong, but I did remember the situation. Its not right and I do not agree with their (Paypal's) answer.

Excuse my ignorance but is POB .. PLACE OF BUSINESS or PO BOX? My confusion is .. they are refusing to deliver to a PLACE OF BUSINESS or a PO BOX!



At least as pertains to my post, POB= PO Box.
