Hi, I placed my first order a week ago and from reading the BPAL site I just figure it'll take 4-6 weeks to get. (I'll happily wait for my imps to arrive, but don't know if I can wait to order more!) Have any of you noticed if one payment method makes things go quicker: CCNow, PayPal, or check/money order? I get the sense that CCNow may hold things up - they say they process orders in 4-6 hours but that doesn't seem to be the case! From other posts here and from checking on my own order status, it appears to take up to a week for the order to go from CCNow to BPAL. Here's some info from their website:
How long does it take for an order to be processed, and what is the sequence of events that occurs after an order is placed?
After an Online Shopper places an order, CCNow sends an Order Confirmation to the Online Shopper's E-mail address. This can also be used as an invoice or receipt, if the Online Shopper chooses to print the E-mail message.
CCNow's system processes a batch of orders every four to six hours, depending on sales volume. Batch processing takes place continuously, 24 hours a day and 365 days a year. Occasionally, an order will take longer than four to six hours to process, depending on the issuing bank's computer systems, and whether the issuing bank requests special authorization procedures.
After the Online Shopper's credit card has been successfully billed, CCNow then sends you the order. This means that by the time you receive an order from CCNow, the Online Shopper has already paid for it and the charge was successful.
Do Online Shoppers automatically receive a message confirming that an order was shipped?
CCNow's system sends one E-mail message to the Online Shopper after an order has been placed.
We do not send an additional message when the order is shipped.
