Online Ordering

 There are two main places I order online from. Amazon, and Newegg(computer parts). The reason is two fold. They have decent deals, and to me even more important my orders get processed without difficulty. Once in a while I can't find what I want on Amazon or Newegg. That's when the fun begins. Because some places have incredibly picky and/or buggy credit card processing software. You can't just input your address that the card is under, no, no, no!!! It has to be fucking EXACTLY as the bank has it!!! This means if the bank has your addy as say APT 56, you have to make damn sure you type out APT 56, and not Apt. 56, Apt# 56, or any other variation thereof. Also, if the bank has the address all on one line, it has to be filled out that way too, none of this:
STREET NO
APT 56
allowed NO NO NO!!! Now here is where it get's real cute. What you don't know is you are playing wheel of fortune because after so many tries, usually three, the fucking credit card goes into lockdown. A phone call won't fix this, you have to shlep to the bank to get it unlocked again. I had this shit happen to me so many times I went to the bank in a rage and had them print out exactly what they had on their computer. And you know what. I fucking STILL had a problem today, because even though the bank has the zip code in long form, and most places take that, paypal no longer does as the first time I tried to push an order through it got rejected. Fortunetely I DO still have the credit card user address exactly as the bank has it, so I was able to avoid the wheel of fortune shutdown, as everything else was spot on, the only thing I could think to do was change the zip from long form to short form which worked.
I fucking KNOW this picky ass rejection shit is not coming from the banks end, as I have been able to order from newegg and Amazon without an exact format duplicate of what the bank has, as long as the address matches, orders from them go through.
