If I Had a ****, Amazon Could **** It
Amazon.com just cancelled three of my book orders because the billing address didn't match the shipping address (hello! I JUST moved!). So now in order to have my books on time for classes (Monday!), I have to pay the ***-raping prices at the university bookstore. ******-*******!
There's $200 I could have used for, say, rent. Seriously, ******-*******!

I don't make the rules, I just live by them.

Believe me, living in France but having a US billing address makes you learn these things.
