I'm trying to buy something from a USA site to send to my Shipitto mail forwarding address, but the site keeps rejecting my credit card.
The thing I'm buying is on special until Sunday midnight US time.
Anyone know a mail forwarder with a personal shopping service that would be working over the weekend - or one based in Aus who works fast (deadline 4pm AEST) :)
Cheers,
B
Thanks for the tip. They don't seem to be open (acurite.com) over their weekend. The website message is 'payment rejected by the processor' which suggests the bank, but my bank sent me a text message to confirm I wanted to allow the purchase and I said yes, which the bank confirmed by reply text. Yet I still can't get the site to process the payment.
I think I have found another solution (waiting for a local friend to wake up who may have a US card), but not sure yet.
You could buy a usa prepaid credit card, though it will end up costing more than it's face value
Have you tried a different credit card? Maybe PayPal?
Some US sites won't accept Australian credit cards at all because it can't verify the address. One thing you could see if you could use a different billing address… Sometimes the billing address can be Australian.
Another thing to try is call the store (what store is it if I may ask?) use Skype. It'll cost a few cents. Usually they can bypass that rule. If they ask about the address, say it's your company office in the US.
