Yes, I've had a similar experience.  I've bought Zeos at work and was very
happy with it (running OS/2).  When I was going to purchase a home system,
Zeos refused to sell it to me because the shipping address was a
"Mailboxes, Etc." (a US mail/parcel delivery service).  

Since I work for a living, they couldn't deliver it to my home (I did give
them that address, though for billing).  My company doesn't allow personal
packages to be delivered to work (and they had that address from my
previous order).

So I bought a Compaq.  I was surprised at how price competative they had
become (I never would have looked at them if Zeos hadn't refused my
order).  In some ways, I owe Zeos sales a debt of gratitude... I now
specify Compaq instead of Zeos when asked at work...  

I still like Zeos systems, but I just can't get them.  Oh, well.
