Why Does Ordering From Canada Suck?


Recommended Posts

From HookahCompany

Thank you for your order. Unfortunately we cannot accept international credit cards for orders being shipped within the United States. I apologize for this inconvenience. Please contact us to provide an acceptable payment. We can accept a US issued credit card as well as a money order. Please send the money order to:
George Jonson

Encinitas, CA 92024

If you choose money order, also please send a photocopy of your driver's license to verify you are at least 18 years of age. The name on the ID must match the name on the money order and we can only ship to the address listed on the ID.

Otherwise you can contact us to provide new credit card information. If you have any questions please feel free to contact us. We look forward to completing your order.

Is this actually something that is mandated by the government or is it just an anti-fraud thing??

My friend lives in Boston and he is coming to Halifax, Canada in two weeks. I wanted to save a little on shipping fees sad.gif.

Can I get an American Credit Card without having an address there?

You can get what Paypal calls "secure cards" now that basically generates a Mastercard number for you and then you pay with your Paypal balance or bank account or card or whatever you would normally use. You can put any address for the billing address when generating the card.

I don't think you can use this when buying tobacco products.

It turns out that Paypal only makes a fuss about tobacco products if they aren't certain that you're of legal age... it's not that its directly against their rules. Either way, in a situation like this they wouldn't even know what was being purchased so it shouldn't be an issue.
