That is good. You are merely naive about how things work.
That is a policy you really want to be enforced. I have a Visa card with a local credit union that won't let me have something shipped to an address other than my billing address. I know this, as I tried setting that up once. Another Visa card provider I have will allow it on a one time basis with prior notification, and I have to jump through hoops to get it to happen.
It may be a bit inconvenient, but it certainly limits the chance for a clerk to use your card number.
