I haven’t, personally.....but have sent things through Amazon.

I did a search for ‘send flowers, internationally’ and many links come up. Here’s just one:

I went through FTD website. It wasn’t bad. They didn’t have much of a selection but I managed to find something that I liked. Good luck.

Used FTD last year to send some flowers to a female colleague in Singapore. I phoned them in the USA and made sure I was billed in the USA and then FTD handled it from there. They did a good job. No experience with on-line service.

Live things or semi-live things like plants and flowers are prime targets of confiscation at the port of entry of a foreign country. They do that to avoid importation of non-native pests.

Your best bet would be to send flowers through a local florist of repute, either through a wire transfer by calling the florist up, or online, if he or she has a secured website.

Actual bulk flower exports to foreign countries have strict packaging instructions, and often include an irradiation sterilization, at the port of entry of the consignment.

My husband sends flowers several times a year to Northern Ireland. He uses FTD mostly and they contract with a local florist over there.

They are the most reputable. I would go with them.

I've sent flowers to St. John's NFLD and Ireland. What I did was to call a relative and have them recommend a florist they've done business with - then I call the florist. No problem with my CC.

Foreign on line phone directories are available... you could use that and find a local florist. You can also wire the money rather than use your CC.
