Im pretty sure I finally have enough money to buy a Binder from Underworks. The whole check idea sounded complicated, so I gave up on it, and figured Id try using a Paypal account instead ;D I signed up for one, and am supposed to receive two small payments to verify it. Anyway, how easy it Paypal to use on this particular website? Pretty straight forward?  8)

Oh yeah, and my mum and dad arent allowed to know about this!  ::) So is the package the binder is sent in huge? Im looking at getting the tri top one! ;) And how long do you reckon itll take to ship to Australia on just a normal postage cost?   :)

Too many questions, thanks! :P

Use paypal all the time.  No issues.  binder packages are fairly small and flat.  Usually mailed in plastic envelopes or padded envelopes.

I used Paypal for my Underworks binder.  It worked fine.  And the way it's mailed it just looks like you're getting a t-shirt, which is what you can tell your parents if they see it.  If you're really paranoid and think they'll ask to see it, but a cheap new t-shirt right before your binder's supposed to come so you'll have something to show them.
In between the lines there's a lot of obscurity.
I'm not inclined to resign to maturity.
If it's alright, then you're all wrong.
Why bounce around to the same damn song?

Little note to add here: Paypal is incompatible with Google Chrome.

Found that out after hours with tech support. Just switch over to Firefox or something if you use Chrome.

I've used Paypal lots, didn't know about Google Chrome though, thanks SilverFang. Most of 'these stores' send very discreetly. Good idea about the T shirt camouflage. I bought boobs on line (OK I know you guys aren't interested :laugh:, they sent them in a beer carton container :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:) it wasn't an issue for me but I thought it was considerate about how far the company would go to be discrete. I now know why they are called jugs (sorry an Aussie joke to share with harlee :-*)

BTW expect lots a fake Paypal accounts asking for credit details. Some even look legitimate. NEVER respond to them.

I have used paypal, just not with underworks.

Everything takes up to 5 working days - transfers to / from your bank account, and the 2 small payments to verify, etc. Slow, but simple and works.

When they ship things to Australia, they do it in a small envelope for documents. It does feel like a t-shirt. It does not say "underworks" on the pack.

If I remember correctly, if comes from "Simple Solutions".

As others have said, it's really discrete.

They ship to us via Fedex, which MAY (depending on your location) get handled by AAE (Australian Air Express).

Sidenote - I'm seeing ad's on the TV lately for "forever stay up socks" by Underworks... I did giggle and wonder if it's the same people branching out to our market  :laugh:

PayPal is the main form of online payment. They're reliable, but do charge a small percent of the cost for themselves (assuming you're on a Premier account, which I think are the default now). Transferring money from your bank account to PayPal will usually take a few days, but once that's done you're fine.
I've always found that their shipping is incredibly fast. Mine came to the UK within 2 days. I'm under the impression that they have a teleportation device.
The packages are tiny. Just look like t-shirts and don't have any branding or anything to suggest that they're binders.

Not just an Aussie joke. Same in the US.

Maybe it's been updated? Didn't work too well for me. Tech support guy said it was because it's relatively new. Haven't tried since then.
