I wonder if you managed to grab the recent buy-one-get-one-free deals on the Little Black Bottle and the Creme de la Mer? I often see friends complaining about order cancellations, cancellations!! So I decided to give it a try—using a Chinese credit card and a forwarding address—and it worked on the first go. Let me share some tips with you.
1. Try placing the order via a VPN
This time, I tried using a VPN, a US address, logged into my account, and the order went through successfully!
2. Forwarding address
Again, I emphasize using a niche, even more niche forwarding service—one that few people use. The website might recognize it as a private US address, increasing the chances of a successful order!
3. Credit card
This time, I used a China Merchants Bank Visa card. However, I've also had success with American Express and Mastercard before. The key is to use a card that isn't frequently used, especially one that hasn't been used on this website for a long time.
4. Timing
As soon as there's a discount, place the order immediately!! If you order right at the start of the promotion, the chances of cancellation are a bit lower.
