Title: Dont tell my mum or dad but...
Post by: harlee on May 10, 2010, 05:03:46 AM
Im a little desperate for a binder now, getting really sick of wearing this extremely tight swimsuit and two extra shirts beneath what Ive already got on!  :P My mum and dad said no to buying one so the plan is (it probably sounds much better in my head than it does in real life  :-\) to...now that I have a bank account aaand a job wooo!  ;D to "secretly" buy this binder on line, and then watch the mail really carefully the next few days and get the package or whatever before my mum does!!! mwhaha! they will never know  ;) perfect!

So my question for those is, which do you recommend, a binder from T-kingdom, or one from Underworks?

Edited:
Awww nooooooooooooo...I dont know how to pay! crap...this is complicated!

Someone once suggested this method of payment to me:  Get some cash together, get yourself to a Walgreens or something of the like, and buy a VISA giftcard to use as payment online.

I recommend Underworks. :) Good luck.

I also recommend Underworks, it comes in like an envelope, doesn't even look like the binder would fit in there but obviously it does, and delivery is pretty quick.

Thats sad.. does this mean your parents dont support your gender identity? :( You seem like such a cute lovable guy too.. :( I'm not sure what a binder is, but I would recommend looking at other boy things too like clothes and such :)

Have you not got a debit card?
If you have on underworks you can pay for it through paypal, if you dont have paypal its quick to set up and its free to do. I would recommend that as its a safe option for paying over the internet.

If you don't have a debit card maybe you should get intouch with your bank and ask about one.

This.  I've used the visa giftcard or similar method before.  It's basically a non-reloadable debit card.  Meaning you put the amount you want on the card, use it like a regular debit, and once that money runs out, you can't use it anymore.  All you need to do is activate the card and it's good to go.

And I love Underworks.  It's overall cheaper than t-kingdom, gets there quicker, and is more discrete.  The package is small and instead of Underworks on the box, the company name is Simple Solutions, Inc.

ETA:  I just realized you live outside the US.  So the visa card option might be out.  I'd still check on it though.  It's possible to send a check to Underworks if you're comfortable with that.  T-kingdom does bank transfers, but I honestly have no clue how that works.

My opinion is, if you're old enough to get a job and a bank account, you're old enough to make your own decisions regarding something like binding (although I'm personally in favor of people being a little older before medically transitioning).

Underworks ships fast, in my experience. I'm in OH, they ship from FL, and I got my binder in 3 days with normal shipping.

I'm in Michigan and I ordered my binder on a thursday and received it that saturday. I stalked the mail too, but I didn't really have to for the envelope wasn't suspicious at all. My parents would have thought it was just a t-shirt or something.

I'm in the UK and I got my Underworks binder in 2 days!
I believe they're in possession of a teleportation device.

Oh yeah, forgot to add that the package doesn't come from "underworks". It comes from "simple solutions".
