PO Box in Another State for Magazines?

[dblas]

I can't find it now but MSP issued a guidance a while back addressing this. The upshot was that even if you have the >10 round magazines shipped out of state to pick up, you're still purchasing while in Maryland and thus, breaking the law. I might have read it wrong, but that's what I understood.

Here you go:

It has to do with transfers by dealers, of >10 magazines out of state, and not with the actual purchase in state. Completely different question which we really don't want asked of MSP to get their "opinion".

Excellent. Thank you. I was misremembering the doc.

No, and we don't need anyone sending the AG a request for an opinion either.

If I buy the hi-cap assault clips online while vacationing in London and have them shipped to Delaware.....will they send the bobbies after me?

Do I have to declare my banana clips at the California Agricultural Inspection Station?

You're quite welcome, it was searchable under "MSP advisory" for future reference.

PO Boxes are no longer "cheap"! The rates have been slowly creeping up.

Well, this is not necessarily a gun thing, it's a credit card fraud thing.

What?!

Besides CheaperthanDirt, is there a list somewhere of vendors willing to ship to VA despite MD billing address? CTD is out of 33rd glock mags.

Thanks!

Brownells has them for $29.99. Not sure if they'll ship to an address different than your CC billing address.

They will not.

I believe MidwayUSA will though.

What would happen if you used your out of state shipping address as your billing address instead of your actual MD billing address? They don't use your address when they run the credit card do they? Just a thought

Running billing address on CC is an option that most online vendors use.

Why is this so surprising to people?

When people steal your identity or CC info, they generally do not send stolen items (gift cards, etc) to your home address. They send it to some other address, where they pick it up. ok, occasionally they do send it to your house and pick it up from your porch. But more likely they send it to a vacant property. Billing address not equal to shipping address is one flag for fraud. Its not necessarily the only flag, and they will not necessarily deny it. Sometimes they flag the transaction and call you (BTDT).

Yes, when they run your CC on the internet, they do check records like address and zip code, not just the CC #.

Credit card transaction would fail, as most if not all online transactions require your billing zip code to verify the credit card.

I have 3 kids who live in other states. I've never had an issue with buying things on line and have it shipped to their address. I have never had a transaction denied because of the shipping address being different than my billing address. We're talking hundreds of packages.

I would imagine that would be a huge issue around Christmas time if shipping address had to be the same as billing.

My card sends a fraud alert when I do such. All I have to do is confirm the transaction. Another bank card I no longer use would refuse shipments to other addresses.

Midway works fine and you don't have to change your billing address. Just made an order myself and picked up at my friends house out of state.
