What's interesting is that staff and students of appropriate HE

give them an academic email address and they register you. First order
must go to your home address, then they ship elsewhere.


Yep, discovered this accidentally a couple of years back when I ordered
something from CPC.

I have a credit card registered at my work address so I can get stuff
delivered there without hassle (from the supplier anyway...). I placed
the order, then got a phonecall a few mins later saying they would have
to cancel the order as it was an educational address but it was ok, they
had created me a onecall account and reordered there. They sorted it
all.

I've always had my CPC orders delivered to the same building as you, but
never got offered onecall. It isn't fair!
