I will never buy from shattered crystal ever again.
#I once spent ú120 on gtc and they never arrived. When I contacted them they said they had been sent in the post and received. I know for a fact that they cant claim that.
Even after I contacted the trading standards agency they said they couldnt do anything because they hadn't got a registered office nearby.
I will NEVER use them again and tell everyone I know to steer clear of them.

Always use SC and never had any problems. Codes are delivered within 2 minutes after paypal payment has been succesfully done.
Last time when all 60 days cards were sold out i got one from eve-codes.com. Within 20 minutes i had my code.

SC is very paranoid. They flag any order that is more than $100US, made in less than 30 days after initial order, uses a credit card different from the one used on last order. BC is less paranoid, but have a tendency to be out of stock more often than SC. The OP second order probably got flagged for size and frequency.
SC also tells you there is a limit on orders in the first 30 days of establishing a SC account. If you made that second order, especially a large second order, before the 30 day starter peroid was finished, I can see why you got the ID request. SC is thinking, stolen CC # got processed ok so the big order is going in before the initial one shows on card owners statement. GTC is not a big enough profit margin to cover even an occasional loss to SC by customer fraud.

It's weird, I've been doing business with shatered christal for almost a year and a half now, and they only asked my adress "once" since I was doing it via Credit card. The first purchase took about an hour, the other took 15 min or less...especially when you do it via paypal.
and for the record, I was never asked for no ID when I my transactions va PayPal.

Personally, any company that only uses paypal as it's method of payment, and not good old fashioned Credit Cards are companies to be avoided.
I understand that not everyone has a credit card, and that paypal is a good alternative for THEM, but for those of us with credit cards, why make us transfer money via Paypal. It's just a useless step.

Thank you to the very few people who actually read the OP.....if it was just a few questions there would have been no problem in answering them, but they didnt, they asked for a photo ID and actual address, not just "where abouts do you live"...but the actual address.
And no, we are'nt buying buying motherships etc, as i said, we are a new corp and some of the guys who refuse to use CC's online just wanted GTC's on standby for when their account time runs out....thats all.
Thanks to everyone for their response's.

The first time I dealt with Shattered Crystal, I'd already been warned about the whole phone call confirmation aspect of ordering from them. Within 15 minutes of placing my order I was phoned and an (American sounding) SC employee tried to confirm my address: it wasn't easy as the phone connection was terrible that day (I'm in Australia) and my address has two road names. In the end we struggled past all that and my order was verified. I've had no problems since then and I'm happy to be a SC customer.
Personally, I like their security minded procedures and think you're being both too picky and too paranoid.

I had no problem with Shattered Crystal. They even double checked that it was me when I ordered a GTC over the net from Manila while I was out there because it came from a different country's IP address.
It shows they are on the ball as far as security is concerned. I would far sooner them call me to make sure than just send it out to someone who has managed to hack my account details.

I just bought 2 x 60d codes for my two accounts. I has advised before accepting my purchase that they would verify my identity by phone.
Five minutes later, the call came, I answered a few questions, and got my codes no hazzle.
If all online shops went through a simple phonecall like this, most fraud would be impossible. I dont take offense. I actually think highter of them for at least trying to protect legitimate credit card holders.

Jesus one phone call and you whine like girls.
Shattered Crystal is amazingly fast and hassle free, I can recommend them.
This tbh...
I've never had any problems with them.
They called me up to confirm where I live, and wether I am the rightful owner of the CC.
They don't call you up to ruin your day, they are calling you to protect your CC from being abused.

If you have a Paypal Business account you'll have problems, when they called me up telling me they couldnt "find" anything about my business they said they couldnt make the transaction because they thought my account was Fraudulent. I would never do anything with those people ever again. |

^^ This.. Same problem also if you try to use a company credit/debit card (VISA or MC).
BattleClinic fortunately does not suffer such amateurish problems, and they don't require a rectal exam to make a simple $15-$35 GTC purchase.
The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the ho's and politicians will look up and shout 'Save us!' and I'll look down, and whisper 'no.' |

I used to deal with evetimecode.com until S.C took them over.
I did 1 transaction with S.C afterwards, without a problem. Second time, they call me(Just like evetimecode.com did, without a problem), and they told me I was fraudulent and required photo ID and passport scan.
Knowing that it's a guy called Markus EIkenberry who runs the verification company(TrustWho), and that he has no morale or anything whatsoever, I can't exactly recommend anybody sending the things they require nor even dealing with his companies.
He even used to sell the WoW Glider bot which got owned in court recently.
Point: Keep away from S.C. It's run by awful people.

Not to bright are ya champ...i have already said twice in this thread that they didnt just call up to verify (which we had no problem with) they wanted us to send a full photo ID and the ACTUAL address, not just the city or suburb.
We contacted a online consumer watchdog group who said..."it is not against the law for any private online company to ask for whatever identifacation they wish, however, asking for a photoID is not normal practise and we would be extremely suspicous of any company asking for this type of infomation".
