I prefer a little more control over making payments online - actually doing it myself rather than it going through a third party. I know it's as safe or safer than entering card details, but it almost makes it too easy to spend more money than I should on these things.

Alan 689 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Ease I think. You don't need to do anything except be logged on to PayPal. It also helps when ordering from overseas because it shows you how much you're paying in £, in our case. Josh500 and TSMefford 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh500 1,615 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Ah... OK. The advantages are minimal. Still, it looks like in the future we can shop at LLL only using PayPal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was one reason for the half hour delay! 😂 Welcome to my world, though I only needed 30 seconds to recover (and the usual keyboard slamming that never helps, of course).

That may be my undoing... 😂 I ordered it at around 12:45, since that was the day I arrived at LA, and at exactly 12 I was speaking with the migration officer, so it wouldn't have been a nice thing to say "can this wait, I need to see if the HP set is up already?", so I ordered it on the cab to the hotel and also had never used paypal before.

Anyway the thing is, this service I'm using, Mail Boxes, Etc, is located in Miami so I had to have it sent there. It seems pretty secure which is more important than speed with an item of this price. There are a lot of horror stories of regular mail, which is what LLL would have used from LA. Josh500 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Pineapple Prod. 183 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 3 hours ago, Josh500 said: Okay, my status is still "Awaiting Fulfillment"... There has to be a logical reason why, at this point, some of us still have "Awaiting Fulfillment" while others already have "Awaiting Shipment"! I think it's the difference between having the album sent on December 7th, or at some point later. After all, LLL must know how many albums they're getting with the first batch (maybe 500? Or even 1,000?)... They already know who's getting the albums sent on day one, and who have to wait a bit longer! Remember, somebody (I forgot who) on this forum said that they got one of their orders before the status changed and it still says "awaiting fulfillment/awaiting shipment" to this day. There's no rhyme or reason to it. TSMefford 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I think I'll do several recreations of music from the Wizarding World. That would be a lot of fun. TSMefford 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
