Good times.

Hello, thanks for your message. I went into the wishlist as soon as I posted it and made sure I had selected my current address and I've just gone back and checked and "Use an existing delivery address" is still checked (with the correct address). Any idea what I've done wrong?

I've just tested it myself and no, you're quite right it does in the choose an address option have yours listed (well it hides the address part but shows as it being you)

Oh that's strange, maybe it was just a glitch then! Thanks for investigating.
