Card declines, solved.
US fraud filters are built around a US card, billing ZIP and shipping address, so a Saudi card next to a Saudi address often gets declined automatically. Personal Shopping checks out on a US card for you.

FAQ
Straight answers.
Usually nothing to do with your bank. US retailers build fraud screening around a US card, a US billing ZIP, and a matching US shipping address. A Saudi card next to a Saudi address trips several of those checks at once, and most systems auto-decline rather than escalate for review. We buy on a US card with a US address instead, so the order goes through like any other US purchase.
