Wow, that site sounds like a straight up scam. I would watch my credit card for unauthorized transactions after that.

Anytime a site lists all their credentials with the “100%” & “guaranteed” I immediately trust the less.
Like what are you hiding? Who are you trying to fool?
A lot of sites add things like that because on average it actually does increase orders and has no real downsides. Not at much with the newer generations but if your target market is boomers then it can help.
False; it says “100% Safe & Secured” right there on that logo. How could that possisbly be a scam?
Please add "/s" just to avoid comments like this. :)
Luckily I didn’t get to that point. Still pretty shitty.
It doesn't have a physical address. Very suspicious.
Get Koho. E-transfer money into Koho, and use Koho to make purchases on weird websites.
It gives you a real credit card, but you basically treat it like a pre-paid card.
I love it. Takes less than 5 seconds for the money to get e-transfered into the account, and sketchy websites cannot make unauthorized charges if your account has no money lol
privacy.com and the app are also great. it generates new cards that are one time use or locked to a specific merchant.
I just wish I could use my credit card as the card behind them. That's my only gripe lol
Thought that was American only?
maybe, im not sure
Revolut allows you to create disposable cards on the go. And to restrict cards from ATM use or online use.
That's not available in Canada, it seems?
I've ordered real pet medications from there because american vet wait was two months in my area. It took a few weeks for the cat meds to arrive, but they definitely delivered. Cheaper than a vet in my area too.
Obviously you have to go to Canadapetcare.ca
That... Might actually be true.
Just redirect me beforehand? :p
What you don't realize is that they're actually Cañada Pet Care, from Spain. Their local dish is poullella.
Gosh darn Cañadians and their Poutiñe.
It gets better. Their Instagram is canadapetcareusa
I recently placed an order with Dell, but kept getting messages that they couldn't process it. After spending five hours on the phone with multiple customer support people, they finally told me it was because my billing address was different than my shipping address, and that I wasn't allowed to do that.
I once had to place an order with 3M. For this product, their website lists the product, then directs you to a page listing the suppliers you can order from. I needed it shipped to New Jersey, so I chose a supplier in Pennsylvania to keep shipping costs down. When I asked for an estimate, their website balked, said it couldn't make an estimate. I tried actually placing the order, but it kept kicking up this error message.
Over a period of like two weeks, I kept trying to place this order, and it simply would not go through. And it really seemed to be related to shipping somehow - it always generated the error when it tried to calculate shipping. I tried multiple addresses in New Jersey, but the website simply couldn't cope with any of them, anywhere in the state.
Finally, in frustration, I tried a bunch of other addresses and determined that the website would ship to Virginia. It really felt like that old "our email won't go more than 500 miles" tech issue somehow. Anyway, I had them ship the package to Virginia, and then our manager there forwarded it to the clients. But it was incredibly frustrating at the time.
Haha, I remember that 500-mile email story. Classic!
Ugh. All the cool stores don't ship to canada
When it comes to my pets, I only buy their food and medications from absolutely reputable sources. So much shady shit, like Frontline knockoffs and stuff to be found on Amazon and other retailers.
