Buying for an American relative from the UK?

Hi

I have an aunty and uncle in cali, and Id like to send them a small gift (some nice biscuits or similar) but I remember last year it being a hassle as websites either wouldnt accept uk payments or there was some other issue.

I think I could use hersheys but wondered what others did? To buy here and post coats too much in postage.

Cheers
I've just started entering the competitions (July 07). When I win I'll update this signature. Look on the bright side, I shouldn't have to update it very often.

  • I think you can order from amazon.com and have it delivered to the US

  • Yes, all my husband's family are in the US and we use amazon US extensively, they've not let us down yet.

    Most international flower delivery sites will take UK payment and deliver to USA, they do chocolates and things but this will probably work out much more expensive.
  • My family is all in the US, and I just order from Amazon or another site for them for the holidays. I've never had a problem, and I've been doing it for 11 years now.
