That sucks. Does that go for ALL the Gratis offers? thanks.

I think they'll ship to PO Boxes provided they're based in retail "shipping shops" like Mailboxes Etc, but not ol' USPS ones, as the private carriers won't deliver to 'em. (You run the risk of using an addy someone else used, though)
If you put a PO Box as your address, Gratis probably won't even process you, but I know some carriers will send you a postcard saying they can't deliver to the PO Box, and that you should pick it up at the local wharehouse.

I'd put your home address. I'm away at school now (and most of the year) and I have a "campus box #" .. except they have a fully-staffed mail room and someone is always there to sign for packages and such. I have been able to receive Fed-EX, UPS, etc as well as packages from places that won't send to PO Boxes. However, I tried to fill out my school address when ordering my ipod and it gave me the "no PO Boxes" message, so I switched to my home address. I was still approved with no problem.
Safer for me this way too... I'm only here at school until the middle of May, and just in case my ipod takes forever, I won't have to worry about it sitting in the mail room all summer without my being able to sign for it. (Although it sucks that I'm going to have to wait for it to ship to NY, and then my parents will have to send it to me here)
