"We’re sorry, but we are having difficulty processing the Credit Card information you provided.

Obviously, they only ship to US customers, or there is a flaw in their billing system.

My zip code is 95357-9167

beef curtains · 01-16-2004, 11:08 PM

he's trying to ship it to the us, but use a UK credit card with a UK billing address.

i think he's crying now

scouse_dave · 01-16-2004, 11:09 PM

nah, they ship everywhere....there's an option about 8 pixels away from that box that asks if it's international or not.

then they turn round and say "oops, sorry, that zip isn't american". no shit. i just told you that.

fuckin shite.

I've had this happen several times before, when ordering a gift to be mailed to a different address than my own. Send an e-mail to their customer service department, and they will take care of you.

There, there Dave, it's going to be allright.

Toby · 01-16-2004, 11:15 PM

some places the shipping address and billing address have to match.

Why not have it shipped to yourself then shipping it off to the US?

If it's an American-based country, there's no way in hell you're going to get your package.

But I'll add that while slim, your chance of an American understanding your written English is better than an Indian at the customer service phone center trying to understand your British accent.
