Buying Chanel perfume for recipient in US

[DrivingHomeForChristmaaargh]

I’m trying to buy my aunt some perfume for Christmas. She lives in Florida.

On the US Chanel site, it won’t accept payment from a card not registered in the US. The UK site doesn’t ship to the US.

Any ideas? The usual “shop US” sites are all focused on allowing you to shop on US sites for UK delivery, which isn’t what I want. Thank you.

Can you pay with PayPal?

Try Selfridges (unless it’s one of the boutique-exclusive scents). I’m sure they ship fragrance to the USA.

Can you try the department stores? Macy's, Nordstrom etc.

Use paypal as PP suggests.

It's illegal to ship fragrance from the UK unless you have a special hazardous goods licence, which some big organisations might have. Try paypal or the "chat with one of our advisors" thingy on the website.

You will need to price up the difference but even with a weak pound it is probably most cost-effective to buy from the US Chanel website as they have complimentary shipping. They accept PayPal and Apple Pay.

Have you tried using something like Sephora

www.sephora.com/shop/fragrance?ref=filters[Brand]=CHANEL,filters[shoppingPreference]=Luxury%20Fragrance

Try fragrancenet.com I purchased from them when I was on holiday in the states as the perfume I’d seen in Sephora was cheaper on this website, so I ordered and had it delivered to where we were staying. I used a UK registered card without issue.

Thanks for all these ideas. Paypal didn't work unfortunately but I used the Live Chat and was advised to put the US delivery address in as the billing address on my UK reg card and, oddly enough, it seems to have worked!
