Barking Pre-Order (Problems)

[Banstylin']

Ok, I think I've come up with a solution for the US dirts...

a friend suggested I try a Proxy server which makes it so that sites 'see' that your on the internet in a specific country.

Unlockthenet.co.uk is one of these servers. There's an address bar at the bottom. I've typed Underworldlive.com in it and it took me to the site. I went to the shop and the currency showed up as GBP. I added my items and then went to check out. Lo and behold it redirected me to Paypal where I could purchase it.

I did not actually purchase it though because when it redirected me to paypal a warning popped up mentioning that I was entering a secured site and that it wasn't gonna be secure through the proxy. So I'm on the fence about this method.. because don't want to get my info stolen. But it might be for some risk takers. What do you guys think??

I just did it and it worked!

However, it didn't charge me for shipping. For the hundreds of times i've tried to order this, I should get free shipping anyway, but i'm sure this is going to fuck up my order somehow.

I'm going to immediately change my PayPal password though, just in case.

Weird. I'm in Canada and the price has been listed in GBP all day (Firefox on a Mac). The only reason I haven't ordered is the lack of security on the actual order page (I don't have a paypal account).

I'm going to take my laptop to work tomorrow and try it on our two different networks (inside and guestaccess, both have separate links to the world.) and see if it changes. I didn't think about it, but I'll take my phone off of wifi and use the cell network and try it. If it comes up different, then it's obviously not the device that's the issue.

Be back in 7 hours to post what I find.

That's because your country trades in Loonies!

Just tried it on my iPad and it worked. I just realized that all the things I tried it on, I wasn't logged on to the site yet. I added it to cart the logged in. This was the case for my phone too where the prices still showed up in USD.

I troubleshoot for a living so parden the over analyzing.

No shipping? When I did the proxy thing it sent me to paypal where the shipping price appeared and was added to the total.

Well, I have tried a multiple different ways to order this from Colorado USA with NO luck.
From a Vista & Windows 7 machine using Firefox, IE 7&8, Safari for Windows = no joy.
Tried on my old G5 using Safari and no joy.
Tried from my home connection and used a Proxy. I can get to the order page, but unless you have active funds in your PayPal account, it won't let place the order or add funds to complete the order. Of course, because of the Proxy, my email was lit up by PayPal and my account was limited. 20 minutes later after reverifying all of my account info, my PayPal is back online. I would recommend against anyone else using a web proxy to place their order thru PayPal. If you do, change your PW & your secret questions ASAP.

Tried from a Network LAN with a Bluecoat Proxy & Filter posting IPs from St. Paul Minnesota & Toronto, Canada and still no joy.

I'm going to wait until the site gets fixed for US orders, hard as that may be.
I feel like Cartman waiting for the Wii.

Just a thought. Are you all logging into Paypal to pay? It is a Paypal check out but you do not have to login to a PP account to pay as in my case because I used my credit card.
