Understandable. I'm not even buying anything it was just an FYI from last years experience. They verify the credit card and billing address first so everything checks out, but afterwards they still won't ship it to wherever you want unlike a lot of other retailers. CSR told me it was something to do with insurance but wasn't sure about the details.

Obviously remove the address from the CC after they ship.
Tried that, Mr. Porter checks all addresses and they know about all the shipping / receiving stations. Very thorough company.
