Valentines is dis upcoming week, and I wanna send my gf some flowers, but I;m in da U.S., so wondered if anyone knew of reputable places that took American credit cards as payment online and delivered flowers to places in Taipei.
I;m in the US so it has to accept American credit cards (VISA), and deliver in Taiwan. I tried Google, but dunno how reputable the international flowerist network is… and their pricing seemed a bit shady depending on the country delivering too…
All suggestions appreciatied…
If there’s anything besides flowers that can be ordered/delivered online plz suggest that as well (any online chocolate delivery stores?? )
but if you’re can read chinese, there’s a lot of sites (selling books, mags, dvds, phone cards and flowers) catering to overseas chinese that will make deliveries to their folks back home incl. taiwan.
better yet, have one of her friends over there pick some flowers up and drop it over her place with a card for you.
And yes, they do take U.S. credit cards and you can enter your U.S. address as the sender’s address. When I was living in the States I used to order cakes for my parents from Sina.
the flower store on sina.com doesn’t deliver to Taiwan, only china (may explain why they are so cheap).
The Gudy site is nice, but they also didn’t accept my credit card like several other Taiwan sites I tried, they wanted me to fax in my order and get my Taiwan ID card (WTF?!!). I tried 520520.com and got rejected there too
Right now I made an order with aliceflowers.com.tw, I’ll see if that goes through…
Yes, Sina does deliver flowers to Taiwan. You need to choose “Deliver to Taiwan” on the left hand side column (vs “Deliver to China”) which will bring you to this page: shopping.sina.com/sinamall/mall/ … florist_tw
I would like to update, that the problem was my credit card and not Alice Flowers. I recently got a new American Express, and it worked fine through the Alice Flowers website.
