I have used Amazon to ship gifts directly to my granddaughter in another state and had no problem. Check the billing info you put on your Amazon order. It's easy to transpose numbers when inputting info.
The shipping address can be anything you want. I ship Amazon to other addresses so that is not the issue. " zip code or something" you need to ask them why us?
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
