Hi guys,i got a new axis debit card and unfortunatly it is not international.every time i place a order it says declined due to card not being active for international use contsct customer service blah blah

Any one here knows any way to order from AE or anyone with a card which works with aliexpress?
 
I only bought something once from AE a long time back and it is yet to reach me... Never tried after that!
 
^^ International shipments sent through postal services are regularly stolen by our customs when they think its worth it. I lost a Play-Asia parcel the same way. However, Play-Asia gave me store credit.

Even on AliXpress, use sellers that give you 60 day delivery guarantee. I have ordered twice on AliXpress and got the parcels.

Shows how fail our customs are.


My question still remains-my axis card is hopeless,any other payment method?

Any VCC provider that works
 
I think most private banks allow you to enable international transactions after you give a declaration or something (holding them not liable for anything that happens to your account after that). Check with your bank.

U just Made My day ...partially

Its an AXIS bank prime debit card,

I tried To enable international usage by ATM but it got declined

Who should i contact i couldnt find any customer service no online?

Should i Knock at nearest branch (quite headache)
 
^^ Yes. either contact CS on phone or visit your nearest branch.

As far as I can see on their web site, even their basic debit cards (VISA Classic) are international cards

Modern times necessitate that you need to have access to your money anytime anywhere. The Axis Bank International Debit Card addresses this need. Apart from being an ATM Card for withdrawing cash, it also enables you to shop and make cashless purchases. You can use the card to make payments at shops, department stores, restaurants, petrol pumps and many more outlets in India and overseas.

I also remember that there was an RBI directive that prevented new debit cards from being shipped to consumer with international usage enabled by default.

while you are going thru the hassle, checkout if you can get a credit card. CC is far better than using debit card online.

For AliX transactions, there are no second step verifications like 3D password or OTPs.
So, better get a CC with VCC facility.
 
thanks, everyone

Applied for a Credit card-1 week to go
Got a mastercard Debit card today

And for my axis prime visa i ran into bank manager directly and my card would be active by tommorow before 12 noon
