OK, I placed an order with RightStuf earlier this week, and here’s what they sent me, two days after the order was placed:

Thank you for choosing TRSI!

We do not seem to have the same information as your bank. We need the exact same address as your financial institution sends your monthly statements to.

Please contact your bank or financial institution to verify the address information that they have on file for your account. We have placed your order on hold for this reason and are waiting to hear from you.

We want you to enjoy your purchase as quickly as you do, so we hope to hear from you very soon!! We will be unable to ship your order until this matter is cleared up. If we have not heard from you after 18 days your order will be canceled.

Due to a high number of recent fraudulent orders using separate billing and shipping addresses we have to verify this information in greater detail with our customers.

Below we have provided you with options to handle this situation:

(1) You may list separate shipping as an alternative address with your credit card company.

(2) Send check or money order. Keep in mind that we do hold all checks for 18 days.

(3) Or you may mail, fax, or scan copies of your credit card front and back as well as a copy of your driver’s license. If you placed your order on our website you are able to provide this information via a secure link. Please see instructions below. If you did not place your order on our website or would prefer, our fax number is 515-986-1129. Please be sure to reference your order number.

(4) You may ship this to your place of employment or an on-campus school address.

(In fact, we prefer to do this to ensure that you actually get your stuf. Please give us all the information that you can, including the name of the company or school, so that your friendly delivery person can get your package to you. We require that you include the business's/school's name in the address. We are happy to work with you to get the product out as quickly as possible, however we will contact you regarding your first order shipping to your work place to confirm the name and address. American Express cardholders, shipping to an address other than what is listed with American Express is not allowed. This is due to American Express' own restriction policies. We apologize.)

(5) We can only send the order to the cardholder. We cannot send the order to anyone else unless the person is on file with the credit card company, or if we have copies as listed on #3.

If one of the above options cannot be fulfilled then we will need to ship the merchandise to the billing address.


We will try to contact you at least three times within a three week period. If we do not hear from you about this matter within this time your order will be cancelled.

Since we want you to enjoy your purchase as quickly as you do, we hope to hear from you soon.

It’s all sorted out now, but my order is going to be delayed by a week because if it. If they insist on having this policy-and nobody else I’ve dealt with in the three years my billing and shipping addresses have differed has a policy like it-they should disclose it on their web site so you can send them the information they need with your order and avoid any delay.
