    No, it's delivered to your home/place of work only.

    You could have it shipped to a UPS or FedEx store for pickup. There may be a small fee for this. I did that for my 1st gen Z.

    Well, yes and no. It's delivered to your home / work if you buy online - but you can also order a CTO (or at least CTO certain models) at a Sony store and the machine can be delivered straight to the store, where you pick it up at your leisure - and you avoid the delivery charge. This is what a sales adviser at the Tottenham Court Road Sony store in London told me re ordering a CTO Vaio SA direct from the shop - presumably you'd have to be there in person though to order, although a telephone order might be possible.

    Sony allows that?

    For every item I bought from sonystyle, there is an label on it says "No hold for pick up, No change of address"
