What shipping/payment methods are you usimg? You may be able to **restrict **it in the payment or shipping set up in admin. Or, you could add a note to the shopping cart and or payment pages stating that you will not ship to POs.
Another good place to notify is the Shipping/Returns page.

thank you for the prompt reply charmedbytina2!

we are using UPS for shipping and Authorize.net for payment.

what we wanted to happen is to make it known to customers that we cannot ship to PO Boxes. so if the customer puts in a PO box in the shipping address we should inform that UPS does not ship to PO boxes and reject the order until they enter a business address or residential address.

thankz

I could write a contribution for this. I don't think it would be difficult. I could probably get something together for tomorrow. Exactly which address pages would you say should be validated?
