    We get around the shipping address by putting the street down first and then use Unit for the Box #. Our Post Office suggested that. No way to get around the billing address though if it is PO Box.

    In the past, the billing address and shipping address would have been different how it applied to me. Never had a problem. But that was way pre co-vid!

    Glad it worked out for you.

    Next question.....What the heck are you going to do with that siren????

    This siren came off of a ship. A lot of dents to remove. The inlet bell is brass, the outer bell and motor cover are one piece and are solid copper.
    The mounting bracket assembly looks to be a crude mix of copper and brass.
    Arthritis means this will take a long time.

    Tracking number says it arrives tomorrow! Fingers crossed it's in one piece....
    Nice size to bring to a GTG for a wake up alarm!

    That is true. They won't deliver to PO Box.

    That I understand but they wouldn't take the credit card because the cards billing address was a PO box. I must be missing something.

    I have a old brass steam whistle on the side of the garage. It takes 240 gallons of compressed air from 175psi to 90psi in one good blast!
    Always wanted a set of real train horns.
