  Yes, the promotional code box is the correct location, and you input
it on the same page you select shipping from.  No, it's not specific
to anything as far as I know --email address or otherwise-- since they

when it wouldn't accept my credit card and marked the code as already
having been used.  I got around that by waiting for a little while.
