Can anyone recommend...
... a good online computer shop?
I'm trying to buy my wireless router, but it's surprisingly difficult.
Most shops (like eBuyer) will only ship to your billing address, and
while I understand that makes sense from a fraud prevention point of
view, it doesn't make sense for someone who works all day. So many
companies in this country assume that you or someone in your family is
at home during the day... it's really odd, because I'm _sure_ most
people work (well, most people ordering expensive gadgets, anyway).
So it's a bit frustrating. I can either find an online store that
will ship to my work address and that is reasonably trustworthy, or I
have to find a physical store that has the router I want and that I
can get to fairly easily.
Any recommendations?

My comment would be...
use ebuyer, get the first order out the door- so you'll have to go collect it on Sat morning, or before work one day (the post offices open pretty early here).
Once you have ordered from them once you can change your delivery address. Its a pain, but its the law.
Thinking about it, my first ebuyer purchase let me post anywhere, maybe this has changed.
Would I be able to pick it up from the post office, though? AFAIK they use a courier, and the parcel has t be signed for. Interestingly, I found one place that will ship to any address - pyramid.com - but I've never heard of them before, so I don't know if I want to trust them with my credit card details.
Then again, maybe I should choose one or the other option and stop overthinking everything :)
