Hello everyone! Long time no see, I know. I have been superbusy with uni stuff, assignments, been tired and kind of moving here and there, so couldn´t get the time to reach my blog! My apologize.
But hey! There's something going on these days, I am waiting for 3 orders currently and because of recent issues I would like to talk to you about my experience about ordering in StrawberryNET so far. I haven´t received the products already so I am not going to talk about product quality or anything related to products, but mostly about THE ORDER as a process.
A lot of people are having some problems when ordering something for the first time from StrawberryNET. Let me explain you why.
StrawberryNET has
free shipping anywhere in the world. The shipping can be trackable or not, as you prefer. The trackable one is free of charge as well. You will only pay if you want your order faster.
The shipping is completely free of burden for US residents (with a bank account/credit card in US) but...there are minor issues when comes to Europe.
Most people get super annoyed by this, but I don´t understand why. It´s no biggie.
If you´re a new user, from Europe, ordering something from StrawberryNET,
they will place your order on hold and tell you to contact their orders department. They will most likely tell you that they need to check your credit card and billing address, so
they will ask you to send them any utility bill you might have on your name (the name you used when ordering) and your address (that should match with the billing address you used on their site when ordering). Any electricity bill, mobile phone bill, gas bill, whatever!
Now people freak out when they hear about this and many of them cancel their order thinking it´s spam or scam or whatever. Don't be worried, it's safe. And you don´t always need to show such bills (if you´re a student living with your parents and you don´t pay anything yourself).
I personally proved my identity/address using the bill I got from Ooolala.fi ...where I have a statement of my billing address, name and last 4 numbers of my credit card. As soon as I sent them a copy of that invoice, they unhold my order and they are processing it now and soon shipping.
They are not asking you for anything more personal. If they do, make sure you contact them back and request more info on the reason why you need to prove more.
So, don´t be afraid when ordering from StrawberryNET. It might look complicated but as you see it´s quite easy.
Another interesting thing about them is the free shipping and the way they deal with the taxes you might pay...I will keep you informed as soon as I get my order!
Any questions? Have you ever used StrawberryNET? What was your experience?
