TYPICALLY WITHIN 72 HOURS OF PAYMENT, WHILE THERE IS NO 'SET' LAW - ITEMS PURCHASED BY CREDIT CARD OR TERMS TYPICALLY FOLLOW THE 3 DAY RULE IF IN STOCK, IF OUT OF STOCK, BUYER MUST BE NOTIFIED WITHIN 3 DAYS AS TO BEING OUT OF STOCK AND EITHER OFFER BACK ORDER OR REFUND.\n\nCHEERS,\nKC

It takes time.  They have to process the order and payment, get out to the warehouse to pick the order, pack the order and then ship the order.  Then once UPS has it they have to check it in, load it up, transport it to location, etc.\n\nI don't usually think 3 days is all that bad.  BUT if you paid extra for express shipping and they said you should have it in 3 days, I would be on the phone tomorrow with someone there to find out what the delay is.\n\nYou should be able to get a UPS tracking # from them if they said it is shipped.

Yes you do.The very nature of ecommerce is to for the buyer to receive their product or service ASAP.Likewise the seller  wants to sell while the visitor is there.You could operate on checks and money orders ,but that involves additional cost(postage) and elongated time for the buyer to receive their product or service,as the seller has to wait for the check to clear and then ship.Many items(non tangible)do not require a shipping cost ,but if you have to send a hard copy,then you have additional shipping cost added to the cost of the product or service.This is the day of instant acquisition and gratification,and if the customer doesn't buy from you because you offer no way to pay immediately,they will buy from someone else.Sellers are not responsible for credit card debt,the credit card holder is,and its about time they shoulder the responsibility for their own mismanagement.

Depending on situations- Is there anything that refers to this situation in the " terms of agreement "?\nIs there any indication that remaining merchandise is on back order? B/O\nIf so that business can not refuse shipment.

I live in Brazil and frequently bump into this situation. I haven't yet used any of the possible solutions and they might be slightly different for people in Australia.\nFirst of all, it's necessary to define what kind of barrier you're bumping into. I know of these:\n1) Credit card billing address is not in the US. The main concern here is credit card fraud. The site is woried that it won't be able to collect/prcecute you if you deny this purchase. If you buy alot, maybe you can open a checking acount in the US and have a credit card linked to it. Also, it seems to me that credit card compannies (Visa and Mastercard) are trying to address this issue and it seems that one solution will be thru the use of debt cards (Electron and Maestro) with enhanced seccurity. In these cases, smaller sites, in which you can acctually ring in and talk to someone might accept money order or some other solution.\n2) Another barrier is that a site might not have international delivery. One thing that might work, and I'm not sure this is what you were calling proxy, is a US address. I've received several e-mails offereing this service, but since I buy mostly books and cd's, I wasn't interested. Basically, you register and receive a US address. When ordering, you enter this address and the sites will ship your orders there. The company offering this virtual address service will then mail it to your real address. The only company I know that does it is LanBox. It is a Lan Chile group company which should qualify it as a reasonably serious company. But it operates only in some Latin American countries (I supose the ones Lan Chile flies to). Its site is at http://www.lanboxusa.com .\nWhat you might want to be aware of in these services is if the companny offering this service is giving you a P.O. box or and actual address. I've seen some sites stating that they do not mail to PO boxes. Also, this service is not cheap. There is a flat fee (or rent if you will) and a cost per order. Plus the delivery cost that the site will charge you.\n3) Finnally, another kind of barrier I've encountered is when attepting to buy a downloadable item like music or films. itunes and Google Videos, for example, do not allow sales to Brazil. I guess there concern here is that the legal system and law enforcement agencies will not do enough to prevent piracy. I think there are proxies that might be of use if the downloaded file is not limited to one computer only. There are a few questions on Answers concerning proxies and following these might give a clue.\nI know none of this helped you much but it might help some of the other readers. :(\nPS: Don't have to give me the points.

You can get through on their automated system.  Don't put in your tracking number.  Let it continue to repeat itself it will finally send you to a person.  I'n not sure where you are in the country but our UPS doens't stop customer pick ups til 8 pm.  The trucks are normally in by 7 pm.  Call, Call, Call. If you have to and if it's not too far look them up in the yello pages and go there with your tracking number

My experience has been that the card comes out about a month after I send the donation.  It will be accompanied by another "opportunity" to contribute.  ;)   They used to also provide a card detailing your legal rights if you are arrested.  I imagine they would still do that if you request one.  Good luck!

yea, call the credit card company and ask for a card with a certain amount of money on it, they should send it in the mail, and then when she gets back call them agian and cancell the credit card. And then you need to chop the credit card into little bitty peices.

it can take up to 10  days if they are shipping parcel post not including weekends. it also depends on how far away you live ..... plus most people do not ship every day...  you can always ask them when the item was shipped so you have a better idea when to expect it...but I  usually give it up to 2 weeks ...with communication in between.

Since the "product" was shipped in August, and received by the customer at about that time, why did it take 3 months for the customer to charge "fraud"?\n\nIt seems to me that since the customer has not returned the item, that they are merely trying to acquire a "product" without paying for it.  You should inform the credit card company of the facts, and indicate that you believe that they are aiding and abetting a fraud. \n\nNext find an attorney that would be willing to initiate a civil action against the customer and the credit card company. You can get a referral from the local bar association.

Don't panic!  First, they're not going to come after the store.  Credit card companies can't really come and take things...that's why they call it unsecured credit.  Furthermore, they would have to go to court to get any kind of judgment against you, and even if they did, all they could do would be to go after your bank accounts (in your own name) or paycheck, but even that is extremely unlikely.  So, really, this isn't worth worrying about right now.\n\nSecondly, let's undo some misconceptions.  The minimum payment (not finance charge) that doubled is not because of any 'bad credit' statement.  It is standard.  Suddenly, lots of us are seeing the minimum payments increased, and it is something that results from a change in the law, not any decision that the credit card companies are taking.  The requirements have been made because many people have payments so low that they may never get out of debt.  The problem with such a law is that it has had the effect of suddenly whipsawing people into deep trouble that shouldn't have gotten there.  But we can't change that here.  Let's talk about how to deal with the new reality.\n\nYou can simply stop paying, but that may not be your best option.  It will affect your credit for real, and limit your options in the future.  You may also consider refinancing somehow, but this may only get you in deeper.  I think the best thing I could recommend is to get in touch with a credit counseling agency such as CCCS.  They may be able to get your monthly payments reduced back down to the level you were paying before.  It won't happen without some problems (such as cutting up your credit cards), but it should help you get out of debt entirely within about 5 years.\n\nBest of luck to you.

credit card companies do not just send out cards, regardless if you are a club member or not.  They will send out an pre=approved application, which you have to sign and fill in then send back to them.\n\nThis sounds like a scam to me.  Investigate the bank that issued the card and if it is bogus, report this to your state attorney general's office.

email them and ask for a shipping date and or tracking number. I buy and sell on Ebay, and I ship right away, but have had experience with people who are in no hurry to get it out, it all depends on what you bought, and what type of shipping is used, and the shipping time doesn't include weekends, so 5-7 days to ship,that means they may not have shipped till today, I would give it a few more days, and email them
