is there a big difference between the billing address and the delevery address?

Question

i bought a ticket online and i put the delevery address of the place where i live right now. i used a different billing address. will i be able to get the ticket?

Answer 1

Yes, you will get the ticket. It is what it says; billing is just where they will send the invoice. Delivery is where they will send the tickets to.

Answer 2

Your billing address should be the one your credit card company has on file. Some companies won't ship to addresses that are different than the billing address - this prevents fraudulent purchases - like if someone got hold of your card and then had the item shipped to them. If the address you used for delivery is one you will use often you can call your credit card company and add it as a second address. I had to do this when I ordered a camera online and had it shipped to my office address.

Answer 3

If you requested your tickets to go to the billing address and you're not able to get it from there then it will be a problem. The mail currier will send it back to the post office where the post office will send your tickets back to where it came from. I know people may want their privacy as far as ordering things and having it sent to a different address, but it might be good to know if you'll be at that address to receive packages instead of having things sent to an address that you can't get to.

Answer 4

usually there is not a problem.


But once (years ago) i ordered something online, with my address for payment and another address for shipping. The company sent me a LETTER to the payment address, to inform me of the possible misuse of my credit card. Which meant that it took about 3 weeks for the gift to get where it was going. i was furious. It would have been faster if they sent the gift to me and i had resent it to the intended person.

I've been told that some companies check the billing address to make sure it matches the credit card billing address - but i don't know if that is true.

Answer 5

It just depends on the place you purchased from. The billing address just refers to the address where the bill from your credit card you used to purchase (or bank statement of account money was drawn from) is sent to. Your delivery address is where you want it to be sent.

Some places want those addresses to be the same to decrease the chances of fraud such as someone using a stolen card and then making charges, but sending all of the "purchased" goods to another location (besides the owner's residence) so they can pick them up.

Answer 6

In simple terms Shipping address is where something is shipped to Billing address is where the bill is sent to Sometimes the address is different, say your buying a gift for your brother, the bill can come to you but you can just have it shipped to him.

Answer 7

You won't have a problem as long as the BILLING address coincides with the current address your credit card or bank has. It doesn't matter what your delivery/mailing address is entered as, as long as the billing address matches the address on record from the source of payment (bank, etc).

Answer 8

Maybe you want to send the ticket as a gift.to your friend in another city..{delivery address}, but the credit card invoice is to be sent to you..{billing address}

Answer 9

YES
Billing add. means that your statement or bill will come to your home / office address, but delivery address can be anywhere , the same as the billing, or overseas, or where ever you want the goods to be delivered

Answer 10

as long as the credit card is still billing to the billing address otherwise the charge might not go through
