CAN ANY LET ME KNOW OF A SITE THAT WOULD SHIP PERFUME TO COLOMBIA FROM THE U.S. - HAS ANYONE HAD EXPERIENCES??

vladimiro says on Jan 12, 2008, 15:23:

You could buy the perfume and send it yourself via servientrega in Miami. Google the servientrega in Miami.

thanks vladirio. I rather find a site though were i can buy it and they can ship it to medellin.

I heard fragrancex.com might....it said though i might be subject to import fees going into colombia?

Why not see if someone in Medellin would help you out? It could save you lots of headaches.

It's a good business idea, flowers, chocolates, and perfume, delivery business in Medellin.

Send it with Clyde17. Even if your girlfriend comes to the door in a sexy bra and panties, she'll be safe around him.

On a serious note, you are liable for paying the import duty which is probably around 28% of declared value. Some people on this site use 'gray market' shippers that may not collect the full duty. It's probably a "shipper beware" thing - one guy reported his expensive laptop being held up for a couple of weeks, others report no problems.

Let a local do it. For the same price as international shipping fees (or less), I know a half dozen people who would gladly hand deliver it to the gift receiver, and take a photo for you of the happy person.

trying to walk a straight line on sour mash and cheap wine...

ABE CARGO EXPRESS out of Miami is A1 service. www.abecargo.com
Servientrega is good as well.

I use www.1vende.com just select English then select Colombia here is the link right to the site http://www.1vende.com/stores/co/index.cfm?refwebid=0

I have sent a cake on a birthday and basically this site has connections with shops and bakery's in the city of interest. The cake was fresh, wrapped nicely and came with a card. It was about $30.00 not bad at all. The family was impressed they all gathered ate it and sent me pictures of how it arrived.

I am guessing the rest of the orders on the site work the same which I will use at a later date.

hi CatGirl and Kat1 - thanks for the advice. I will check out the site but she loves Ralph Lauren Style when she was in ny. I just gave it to her cousin to deliver it during the holidays.

I could go one day but concerned about my safety....:) :(

What safety? Are you in a wheel-chair?

Mike19 says on Jan 14, 2008, 18:05:

Robert - Not in a wheel chair but let's be honest and put yourself in someone else's shoes if you were not from colombia. I know its not like it was 12 years ago and im sure its a beautiful country -that i want to visit. I'm a survivor of 9-11 that day in the World trade center (tower 2-70th floor) and feel life is short and you must travel and have fun but I'm a bit concerned about my safety if going to medellin.

Medellin Traveler says on Jan 14, 2008, 19:16:

Mike19 -
I understand your safety concerns. I went solo to Medellin without knowing a soul on my first trip. Now, I have many new friends in Medellin who open up their homes to me, offering me a place to stay in their homes, and they always make sure I have more than enough to eat.

If you want, I can deliver the Ralph Lauren perfume on my trip next week. You can pay me via PayPal and I will be more than happy to be of service.

Mike19 says on Jan 15, 2008, 13:57:

I appreciate that medellin traveler but I rather ship it from a website -----maybe a colombian website. Every site I go to in the US states I would have to pay a import and possible tax fees?

Does that mean 10,000 usd...haha

Mike19 says on Jan 15, 2008, 14:30:

medellin traveler - my friend lives in el poblado close to El tesoro mall.

Mike19 says on Jan 15, 2008, 15:30:

medellin traveler - I just watched the link u posted about scopolamine. Thanks alot for sharing it - very interesting. Now im more concerned my ass would get hit with scopo in el poblado....hahaha

Medellin Traveler says on Jan 15, 2008, 16:50:

A few cotton balls up your nose should do the trick!

HaHa! The ladrones would be dumbfounded as to why your not being receptive to their suggesting you take a ride with them to the ATM machine!
