Tiger roaring
Teekay goes to the online Apple store Germany to order Tiger for his wife, who doesn’t have a credit card but is a student and therefore entitled to an education discount. Teekay’s credit card billing address is in a neighboring country which shall remain unnamed, but his wife’s shipping address, of course, is in Germany. This *extremely complex situation* <sarcasm> is evidently too much for this technology-aware internet merchant to handle: the billing address doesn’t even *have* a field where one could list a country other than Germany.
This is no way to do business.
I now had to switch to a *bank transfer* — can you imagine? I can’t remember the last time I bought something via bank transfer…
Apple, please, fix this. This is ridiculous.
Speaking of fixing, I’m using *asterisks* for emphasis because ecto somehow decided it didn’t want to deal with my italics any more. Anyone has any clue how to fix this?
