only successfully received...not confirmed

it is a yo-yo experience shopping online this time around.

first, there was this happy mail which came as soon as i shopped :

Your order has been succesfully received by Customer Service. Please note your credit card has not been charged. You will be charged once the item has been shipped. Please allow one to two business days to process your order for shipment. Items ordered are subject to availability.


then, few hours later, a disappointing e-mail from them to me, an overseas customer:

This is a brief note to inform you that, as our payment system does not accept foreign credit card for the moment, your online order has been cancelled and your credit card will not be charged. It was a pleasure assisting you and we look forward to assisting you in the near future.


my heart was broken. but then, there was still a glimmer of hope. i e-mailed aunt that same night to ask if i could use her credit card and shop. she did not call that night, so i mailed her instead.
and this morning, checked my mail, came this reply:

u can book now


yippppee.....and so i went ahead just now.....and booked. the reply came almost immediately.

ok, it is the same e-mail as the one i got when i placed my first order yesterday.....so now, there is more waiting before the purchase can be confirmed. and since it is a weekend, i doubt i will know till monday.

so now....the waiting begins................
