Any tips?

Lol, ask a friend to order your stuff and give him the money. Wouldnt your parents notice, when you got a freaky pen outta nowhere?

they usually can't notice it cuz they dont stock my pen case for how many mods i have
-
Date: Fri, Mar 11 2011 20:42:18
why do you need to do this?
-
Date: Fri, Mar 11 2011 20:42:53
cuz my parents are strict when it comes to order stuff online and sending money. '_______'
-

Then don't do it. Try to convince your parents first.
-
Date: Fri, Mar 11 2011 21:41:05
Yeah just get a friend to do it, probably the easiest way.

have a reasonable discussion with your parents in order to demonstrate the ubiquity of online shopping in the modern age. if that fails order to a friends house.

I can relate to this, this is what you should do: get/collect some money equal to the cost of the pen you want to buy. Give that money to your dad, and say now you have my money, so can I use the same amount of money online? If this doesn't work, then take that money to your friend and have your friend do the same thing to his dad.

Its best that you dont do this. First things First ask. If you didnt even ask then how are you supposed to know your dad is angry?

maybe you should show you parents that buying from penwish is really trustfull I mean, c'mon. 90% of all spinners on this website bought something from him, so if it was a cheater, we already found out! [edit] I even think it is 99%. and that is for more than 1000 members!

i agree that penwish is trustful but how can i show to prove my parents that penwish is turstful

well show him the adress bar thing. It has https which means its secure. Tell him that Penwish accepts Paypal too, as paypal is the most secure way to pay with.

I just did it. My parents didn't know until a year later. AFTER I made a good amount of money from pens. Just be smart, plan it out. I knew it would take exactly 5 days. So i ordered on like monday or tuesday, received saturday which i got the mail before my parents. Work for your own money

-
Date: Sun, Mar 13 2011 17:07:41
send money to pw and have him send it to a friends house and receive from him/her
-
Date: Sun, Mar 13 2011 17:49:19

Even though i agree with having a conversation with your parents first, sometimes parents won't negotiate with "a 13 year old kid that knows nothing of the world". Some parents are over protective and strict. It's easy to say that paypal and penwish are extremely safe, but convincing that to some parents can be quite difficult. Buying things online is a common thing to do now n' days. However, there are risks involved but there's risk in everything. Penwish is a very reliable and truth worthy company/people. If you want to keep your order from your parents, its actually very simple. Penwish allows you do send your cash through the mail to their address. No need for paypal or credit/debit cards. Its probably best to shoot him a pm/email first before you send. Have a print out of your Cart so he knows what you want along with the address you want the package to get sent to. have the correct money as well but do no put change. Its best to give Penwish more than less. He is doing everyone a favor by accepting money through mail because he knows many pen spinners are young and do not have credit/debit cards. As for receiving the package, you can have it sent to a trustworthy friends house or a family members. Of course let them know first. Good Luck!

if you have cash, a envelope, and some stamps the you can do a money order from penwish and send him the money. if you can get to a mailbox to send the envelope with money in it the you parents will never know, just check the mail everyday so they dont find it.

Tell your parents that they can trust PayPal. Because Paypal can track scammers.

and that's not all sometime i want to buy some mods but cost alot of money. Say like i want to buy a dr kt but cost like $22 and my parents would be like "you want to spend $22 on just a PEN" cuz im "asian" and i have "asian parents"

Yeah basically do what everyone else said and give the money to a friend that has a paypal account and have him order it for you and if you don't want your parents to know you ordered the pen online then use your friends address for delivery and get it there so you don't have to grab the pen before your parents notice.. That's what I did and told my parents I made my pen at my friends house.

i better say convince them first, like i did. if that dosent work, steal the credit card of your dad and buy it LOL
-
Date: Thu, Mar 17 2011 12:01:41
@Harshul You are such a bad kid. Yer parents taught you to steal their card if they dont allow? :trollface:
-
Date: Thu, Mar 17 2011 15:03:30
XD stealing your credit card is probably not a good plan. Just do what someone said with the moneypak thing or give your friend money. It's simple. All my friends make me order for them cuz their parents don't like ordering online XP Oh, and if they think you are wasting money on something. Just say your friend gave it to you for free :P

I thought paypal accepted prepaid credit cards....
-
Date: Fri, Mar 18 2011 01:55:36
You need to be 18+ to use Paypal. Just send a money order, only a small fee to pay.

hey cmon, just chill out. i never did such a thing. nor did i buy anything from penwish till date so ya chill. btw, it was just a SUGGESTION. Rather, ask a relative of yours to buy the pen and u pay him back. or, save up pocket money and tell your dad to buy the pen with the equivilant cost.

Have a friend on your country that is a spinner that buys on penwish.then just buy from him!thats what i do because im not allowed on pw
-
Date: Fri, Mar 25 2011 20:03:18

keep on begging your parents and acted pissed. hopefully they'll feel bad for you and let u buy something. Or, like vento said, just ask a friend and pay him back but give him an extra dollar or something so he'll agree.
-
Date: Sat, Apr 23 2011 16:02:34
easiest way is to just ask one of your friends (i know many people have said this, but i'll say it again) im sure there is at least one of your friends that can buy stuff online and you could ask them, if they dont want to, pay them extra 5 dollors or something for doing it

buy a prepaid card send it to ur friends place and ask him to bring it to you
-
Date: Thu, Apr 28 2011 06:48:19
do everything at ur house but put in ur friends address so it gets sent to him instead of u and when it does he can just give it to u.
-

I'd say that you should ask someone to buy them for you then pay them back afterwards ^.^ other than that all I can think off is to ask your parents to give you a checking account and debit card so that they can put money into your account and they don't have to worry about how much you spend or what you spend it on *they can monitor what you buy

WELL, in middle school, for french class we had penpals. So i TRY to buy internationally, say its a gift from my penpal, or some of my friends had some spare crap etc.etc.
-

Have it shipped to a friend's place or a PO box (go to the post office, open a box... Probably kind of expensive and not worth it, but if you're really desperate it would work). Or maybe ask PW if they'll ship discretely in an unmarked envelope... your parents might still figure that out just by the shape in the envelope though lol EDIT: OR, if you have friends irl who pen spin, order it and say it's for them.

Send penwish the money via mail, it helped for me
