Title: Question about how discrete GC2B is when buying a chest binder
Post by: rainification on January 20, 2018, 05:35:07 PM
So I learned that GC2B has discrete packaging which is great. But I do have a question about the payment. I'm not very experienced with using a bank account because I do have one, but I save the money on it for education and my future transition. However I do know that there is a way to see what companies you have purchased from with a bank account, and I'm wondering if anyone who has bought a binder from them knows if it will show up as a purchase from them or a purchase for a chest binder. If I do order one, my parents absolutely cannot know, and they have access to my account, and I'm totally dead if they find out. If I were to order one, I'd tell them I'm buying a shirt or something. But would it show up as that on my account? Thanks in advance!

They might tell you if you e-mail them how it would appear on your statement. I don't know anything about them, but given they sell equipment commonly used by trans people I'm assuming they understand the need for discretion.

Hi there,

All i can say is that for me (paying via paypal) only the lines "Karen Larenas" appeared. No company or product names. You DO get the details via mail though. But as already said, I'm not 100p sure how that would look like via normal banking, without paypal (although I'm sure it would be the same)

Hope that helped somewhat.

Best luck!

I just checked my online statement and this is how it came up for me (word for word):

"AMZ GC2B T RANSITION SEATTLE WA"

I don't know if that's how it will show up for you or not, though. You could email them and ask?

I ordered another binder from them - it arrived yesterday (to Canada).

I paid through PayPal and on my bank statement it just says: 'Misc Payment - PayPal'.

The packaging was very discreet. The customs description says 'clothing' and the sender is Karen Larenas. Hope this helps!
