I ordered it just after they changed the system... my friend who ordered a week before me got away with it.

yeah I know its PO Box address, but apple have the mail forwarding PO Box's blacklisted.... at least they did with aramex. I tried with a US card to ship to an aramex and they declined it based on "we dont ship to mail forwarding address"

Had to have it sent to a friend in the US, who then reposted it to Aramex for me.

Btw, this was only with the iPhone- My MacBook + other stuff were shipped without any hassles....

@Riy, when did you order your Iphone online? As between Jan-March you could order with any credit card.

Btw its not a forwarding address its a normal P.O Box i dont believe Apple will have any way of knowing which are forwarding and which are not.

I agree with justin… I ordered the iPhone last year, they cancelled it because they dont ship to mail forwarding address. Also needed an American credit card to dobthe purchase. Eventualy had a friend in the US buy it and ship it.

The phone will also be network locked- so ull need to wait until the crack is available to use the phone. With my second iPhone on v 1.1.2 I had to wait a month before the hack was out.

Needless to say- it was well worth the effort

Hi Justin,

The shipping companies give you a Normal P. Box, got several phones like that here in the UAE like that. Regarding the American credit card, i doubt that unless they changed it since the original IPhone.

Quite an interesting read however apple will not ship your phone to one of these reshipping companies as they have been blacklisted. You will need to use some American credit card, to purchase the item and then ship it to a friend. Quite a hassle.
