Who the hell uses a debit card for online orders? That's like asking for butt rape.

How so?

Yeh how so? When it is run as a visa card meaning you don't type in a PIN.. it has the same protections as a credit card.

What do you expect when the money has to jump through multiple accounts. I just can't understand why people insist on using the most convoluted way to pay for things. Visa check card for the win.

Except money is directly withdrawn from your bank account. You're forced to work with your card's customer service to get the money credited back.

With a credit card, the charge would be either credited back to you or placed on hold for review where in both cases none of your money is touched.

I just got off the phone with customer service. Basically, processing takes 1-2 business days. I asked her if my payment method made a difference, and she said whether I used the secure card or my actual physical credit card, it would be the same. Now I feel like I wasted money on overnight though :(

I have no idea how more people do not understand this. I have tried to explain this multiple times to friends/family and they look at me like I'm wack.

Probably not gonna happen.

The delivery service delivery guarantees only start when they get the product in their hands.

That doesn't include the time it takes ZZF to get it into their hands.

Since ZZf is not guaranteeing the delivery date........;)
