It worked just fine; they just sent me an email saying it was shipped. I have a question though. I paid extra for faster delivery, so now it's done through FedEX in US and as mentioned, they require my signature. Has anyone got around that?

However some people get lucky. Their filters seem quite random.

It seems that the FPO or APO address lag is just a script that disables orders with that logo in em. 3- no need to tick the empty square that says billing address matches shipping address. iv just ordered Command & Conquer for my mac and its on the way !!! so yalla go and shop away ! REMEMBER : step 1 is only optional ,, you can start to order right away with the minor adjustments in mind (steps 2 & 3). ok you guys :
