| I have ordered numerous times from alldaychemist.com and never had a
problem. But they have changed their website and things are screwed
up.
First, when I went to log in as an old customer the website could not
find my username. "OK," I thought. "I'll just create a new account. No
biggie." So I proceeded to place what I wanted in my shopping cart and
proceeded to Checkout. I entered all the information as required and
hit the Submit button. That took me to a page displaying my order and
requiring another Yes button. When I clicked to confirm the order
everything took a long time. Eventually I got a screen that said:
"It appears there is no response from the 3D secure server [whatever
that is].
"However, if you are in the process of enrolling/validating your
credit card for VbV [whatever that is] secure code, please click on
the 'No'/'Cancel' buttonm OR to proceed with your transaction now,
click on the 'Yes' or 'OK' button."
Since my card has always worked fine I clicked on OK. After a long
time I finally got a window that said it was unable to connect to the
bank for verification and that the transaction had been denied. But
the next screen said the order had been confirmed. At this point I
have no idea if the order went through or not.
I'd advise staying away from alldaychemist.com until they find someone
who knows how to program a website.

VbV probably means "Verified by Visa." You can go to the following link and
enroll your card. It adds another layer of security when you make online
purchases.

Can someone explain to me WHEN in the process of making your order
that you are segued into the 'Verified By Visa' process? Is there a
way to test the goddamn thing without spending any money? I find that
there is no way to alter your stats (like your email address) once
you've gotten your card registered in the 'Verified By Visa'. Talk
about another stick in the spokes!

I haven't used VBV yet, but I registered my card. The registration site is
operated by my card issuer. I can go to the bank's VBV site and manage my
account. You can change the password, login name, e-mail address, and the
personal message the you see when you use VBV.

I just successfully used the Verified By Visa process for the first
time. HOWEVER, on this attempt I happened to be using Microsoft
Internet Explorer rather than Firefox, the browser I usually use for
internet shopping. I wonder if Firefox version 1.0.4 is set up for
using Verified by Visa? Anyone used VbV with Firefox with success?

Yep. Works just fine. VbV is just a redirect to a different web server. As far
as I can tell, there is no extra software running on my machine.

| Followup:
I originally posted about problems getting alldaychemist.com to accept
my Visa debit card, which it had always done in the past. Others have
discussed VbV since then.
This debit card is a new card for an old account. I had some security
issues with the original debit card issued by the bank, so I asked
them to kill the old card and issue me a new one, which they were
happy to do. After the problem at alldaychemist.com I experienced an
occasional problem elsewhere -- places where I had ordered before
without incident. Then a few days ago I placed a large order by phone
and the vendor called me back to say my card had been declined. This
was preposterous, so I called the bank. To make a long story short,
the bank has entered into a new deal "for my protection." (BS, it's
for their protection, but we'll skate over the corporate spin for the
time being.)
The problem was that they new establish a $1,000 limit on all new
debit cards for the first 90 days, regardless of account balance, and
all transactions of whatever amount must go through a scan process
that assigns points to see if they might be fraudulent.
Alldaychemist.com didn't make the grade on the scan. My old card was
issued before these new procedures went into effect, so there was
never a problem.
I made a trip to the bank and spent nearly an hour at the manager's
desk. My account has a substantial balance, plus I knew the branch has
been losing business and the manager's XXX is in a sling with top
management. (He didn't know I knew that.) So I pointed out that I was
an adult and didn't need the bank to be my nanny. I also pointed out
that I earned all my funds with my own hard work and I was not about
to have anyone tell me what to spend them on. And finally, I pointed
out that there was a competing bank across the street and another one
a block away, both of whom would be only too happy to accept my
business.
The manager then called the "card people" (interesting image, eh?) and
demanded that they remove all restrictions on my new debit card. At
first they refused, citing bank policy. He kept insisting, getting
bumped up higher and higher in the corporate pecking order. Finally he
succeeded in getting to the level where there is someone with enough
authority to issue the order (a vice president -- another interesting
image). Doncha just love dealing with bureaucracies?
I finally succeeded in getting all the restrictions removed, but
alldaychemist.com still wouldn't work. But then I recalled that
someone else here posted about calling them. In the past they never
had a phone number, but lo and behold, there on the home page is a US
phone number. So I picked up the cell and called. A pleasant fellow
with a delightful Indian accent answered. (I get off on listening to
variations in speech.) After a short conversation in which I gave him
the order number (the one that was declined), he said he would
straighten it out. A few minutes later he called back and said that
the card problem was resolved and the order would be on its way.
So now I sit worrying about US Customs. But at least things are
functioning again. The phone number is a new feature for
alldaychemist.com that I want everyone here to be aware of. In fact, I
don't think there are any other online pharmacies that have phone
numbers, at least not pharmacies of the genre that folks in here deal
with.
So alldaychemist.com is back on my happy list.

It certainly puts them at risk of more attention from the guys with dark suits
and sunglasses.
Could you tell if it was a VOIP type connection that might have been forwarded
to another country? (Those type of calls have a metallic or cell sound.)

No, it seemed like a normal call. I'm sure it was forwarded and the
pleasant Indian fellow was really in India, but there was no metallic
sound or other unusual feature.
I am also happy to report that my order arrived a couple days ago.
Sailed right through Customs without a hitch. As usual, it was packed
in one of the plastic storage cases they use and sewn up in muslin.

Did you order a large quantity? I just got an order from them, 60 tabs,
that were sent in a medium-weight mailing envelope. The order was place
through alldaychemist.com but all correspondence and the actual package from
Cooper Pharma.

What's wrong with that?
IF the did _not_ have fraud prevention procedures, and your card was
compromised, and someone spent all your money, would you be willing to
say "Tsk tsk no problem." Or would you go screaming to the bank, "It's
not my fault! Restore my money!"
I'll bet you want super-convenience AND safety for your money. Can't
have it both ways. I suppose if you're an XXXXXXX and go bust the guy's
balls, he'll cave in. He should have told you to walk.
It's like the old saying, Every customer wants good service, quality
products, and low prices, but you can only get 2 of 3.

Perhaps I did not make the nature of my complaint clear. I am not
complaining because the bank has a new security system. I am
complaining because they failed to provide a way for the customer to
override it. This is a debit card, after all. It has a PIN number that
is known only to me and the bank's database. There is also a toll-free
number on the back of the card that I can call. I can even get a human
being on that line. What is wrong is that the human on the other end
of the phone does not have the authority to authorize an override.
Even the branch manager did not have the authority.
This debit card is for a corporate account that I use for my small
business. The day after the problems with ADC I telephoned a vendor in
Ohio to order some products that I needed. This order totaled $2,021,
although I had ordered larger amounts in the past. It was denied
because of the new $1,000 limit, but the vendor in Ohio was given no
explanation. To him it just looked like I was a flake. The branch
manager could (and did) call the vendor to apologize and make sure he
knew it was not my fault. But he had to go all the way up to a vice
president to get the transaction approved and the process wasted an
hour of his and my time.
A simple automated override system should be implemented. I should be
able to call the toll-free number, enter the card number and my PIN
number, and then be given the option to override denials created by a
lame and arbitrary system.
But this is getting off-topic, so let's just drop it.
