I bet you won't forget to keep a few blank checks in your purse after this. What kind of machine are you getting? A new machine is exciting!

I can understand shedding a few tears. Let me ask you this, if someone were to send you a box of fabric, would you have to pay duty on it as well? If you order fabric from a store in the USA, must you pay duty on it also? Even still, buying fabric online, paying for shipping AND duty fees is cheaper than buying locally, sadly. |

Duh...unbelieveable that places can't take cash...you would also think that if they could take credit, they could take a debit card.
Enjoy it when you get it! |
you need to get your husband to leave you a credit card for emergenies. I have my own credit card Just one and it's in my name had it before I married and I keep it as you never know what will happen. If God forbid something happen to your husband and everything was in his name you would not be able to have any access to things you might need. JMHO
On the other hand the waiting is part of the enjoyment of a present so you will have the excitment of getting it twice. Hope your machine is all you want it to be and many happy things will be made on it. |
Why would he not take the debit card. That is the same as a credit card except the $$ comes right out of your checking account. I have done that in stores that would not take American Express, which I use all the time. The debit card says VISA on it. I know there are others also.

The debit card should work as a credit card. Or at least mine does. feel your pain though. It will be worth the wait though.

That is torture!
