Last time I checked this was an item you ordered from VoipSupply, and
VoipSupply DOES require you to have the Ship-To address on file with
your bank (BTW, so do others, so you got some that don't, wow), and
yes VoipSupply does clearly state that, when you go thru the process
of checking out the items on their web site.

WOW, really a nice accomplishment. But I don't think that if you don't
have that ship to address on file with your bank, and you order things
from voipsupply.com thru their web site, that they arrive as well.

Again, you love beating around the bush, it doesn't matter if it was
PayPal or not, it was VoipSupply.com but you know what (listen to this
because I think you never heard about it before) VoipSupply.com has a
policy that you can't ship to an address that you don't have on file
with your bank, and VoipSupply.com makes you aware of this when you
check out.

You are not saying the truth here, since you are aware, I told you
about it at least 4 days ago. BTW, it might not be the bank, but the
merchant in our case (yep you guessed it, no not PayPal, not CDW, yeah
you got it....) VoipSupply.com might be the one requiring it.

I have it all the time, here are 2 that require that:
www.voipsupply.com
www.thenerds.com

I get the following when checking out from thenerds.com:
Note: To help prevent credit card fraud, TheNerds.Net can only ship
orders to a verifiable address. If you choose an alternate shipping
address you will be required to make this address verifiable with your
credit card company. This will involve placing a call to your credit
card company at the Customer Service number listed on the back of your
credit card to have an "alternate address memo" notated on your
account. The credit card company must enter the name and address of
the person to whom you are requesting your package be sent.
TheNerds.Net's order processing department will phone your credit card
company to confirm you have set up the alternate address memo.
TheNerds.net's Order Processing Department usually confirms all orders
with an alternate shipping address within 24 hours.

If your Credit Card company is unable to set up this alternate address
memo, please call our order processing department with your order
confirmation number at [1-888-566-6373].

Here it is from the checkout page (the step where you choose a payment
option) on VoipSupply.com:
IMPORTANT: Your billing and shipping addresses MUST match the address
your credit card statement is mailed to or must be listed as an
alternate shipping address with your credit card company. If the
address does not match, your order may be delayed or canceled. If you
have any questions about this while placing your order, please contact
our sales department at 1-800-398-VOIP and someone can complete your
order making any necessary modifications.
