Purchases from US online stores

Since we are going States next week, I have planned a list of items to get online and shipped to our hotel. We did the same previously when we went Miami.

This time round as I wanted to enjoy more benefits, I ordered stuffs from different sites other than our fav. Amazon.com. Two days ago, I ordered two Estee Lauder products from their website. To my dismay, my order is rejected. I only received the email today. I wondered why and decided to try again. If my order gets rejected again, I will get them from Bahamas instead to avoid any hassle.

I then placed orders in Sephora and Vichy. I then realised it could due to incorrect billing address. Sephora don't accept international credit card. And Vichy site don't allow me to put non-US billing address. Note billing address is important. It has to be the same as the address with credit card company. I guess this could be the reason my orders are rejected by Estee Lauder.

So I end up quickly went back Amazon.com to purchase same stuffs from Sephora so I will not miss the delivery date. Sephora sells products via Amazon.com too.

Now, I am waiting and see any more rejected orders from Vichy and Estee Lauder. If they get rejected, then it is really due to non-US billing address. I have contigency plan if I unable to get from Vichy and Estee Lauder but not Clarins. I really hope my ordered stuffs from Clarins will go through.
