Another good laugh from 'The Doctor', talking about credit card processor delays:
"And as a last remark... It's, also contrary to what you are suggesting, actually rather normal that it will take "that long". You don't sign up for a proper credit card processor in a mere few days... It could've been done faster with only accepting a couple of major credit card issuers, but Alpha wants to accept *all* of them so that everybody, no matter what card you have, is able to pay without problems."
You could not make this stuff up if you tried
totally a laugh a minute

That's hilarious. I've owned and run several companies.
Took 48 hours and I could process all credit cards, online and with the reader in person. You only have issues if you have credit or fraud flags for your company.
Or you're trying to purposefully not get one, this way you can cancel preorders and re-sell them......
