Reject orders shipping to PO boxes or addresses you don't serve, with your own message at checkout. Set minimum and maximum quantity per product and minimum and maximum cart total.

Install, turn on the PO box and locker rules, and they work right away; a small set of ZIP/postal rules is included free.
