My problem with limiting by address is situations in which a group of people
who are NOT a family live at the same address.

I pay $28 per year to keep a PO Box on campus at my college even though I no
longer live on campus for this reason.  We get all of the bills at home, but
since both I and my roommate are AFOL with separate collections, the LEGO gets
shipped to our PO Boxes to get around the "one per household" coupons.  We
COULD get 3 of most things by having one sent home, but then we'd have to
decide who gets the third so we usually just stick to one [1] each.  Oh, and
the campus post office holds packages in a nice sheltered area instead of the
front porch, so that's nice too.

(...) While I agree that cheating the company when you are actually a family is wrong, I also think that the method of limiting something to one per address is also wrong as well. If you are married, even if you have seperate paychecks and seperate (...) (25 years ago, 11-Nov-99, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.off-topic.debate)
