Hi All,

I'm running into a bit of bad luck here... I'm trying to buy my uncle a fax machine.
He's in the US and I'm in Canada.

I've tried NewEgg (.ca/.com) and TigerDirect. Both places are unable to take Canadian-based credit cards and have the shipping address in the US.

I find this absurd, and they are loosing business.

Even via paypal, they require an address verification, which I'm sure will lead to a dead-end.


Has anyone encountered this issue? Has anyone had any success with it?
Thanks to anyone that can help!

I've tried PayPal, coming through Tiger Direct and NewEgg (both CAN and US sides), without success.
There's always a mismatch between billing and shipping address. If you set a locale with one, the other one matches it... so if I pick a Canadian billing address, the shipping address will only show Canadian destinations (provinces)!

:(
 
Hmm...What if you ordered by phone? Maybe someone could help you out.
 
Actually, that's probably a good idea... Perhaps the only viable option left.
I can't logically see why they wouldn't want a valid credit card (that orders have been made with in the past already) in any scenario. I doubt business is going THAT well for them. :)
