krjchen Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 So for future reference, how do I send my SO roses when I'm here in the States? She's at Nanjing China. Link to comment
Trigg Posted February 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 Its funny Jim because you remind me of when I bought Nicola a stuffed animal that was also made in China. I felt weird sending it back to China and having the shipping cost more than the gift!When I went over there, I thought I was so clever to take her something as American as a stuffed Snoopy. Imagine my suprise not only to see Snoopy on pillows in her sister's car, but to see stores dedicated to the guy. It's hard enought to accept $15 worth of stuff could cost so much to send, but be delayed for x-rays. I kept trying to find things that didn't originate there but finally gave up. I just can't wait for next year when I can spend the money on her and not UPS.I'm guessin' that if you read the label on the snoopy it will say MADE IN CHINA. Well, no problem as you will soon have a wife with the same label. Link to comment

I keep looking for it, but can never seem to find it Ah well, I'll have to look more closely next time, and more thoroughly, and... hmmm... where did I put those cheetos? Less than 2 weeks guys! tick tock tick tock Link to comment
DaveR Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 I sent a card, because she told me I had spent too much for flowers on her birthday in November and then again on Christmas. But I sent it Global Priority and it was supposed to be delivered in 6 business days. I knew it was too good to be true. Being so close to our interview, we are just looking forward to that.

cosmiclobster Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 So for future reference, how do I send my SO roses when I'm here in the States? She's at Nanjing China.I used CNFlowerNet.com. A dozen red roses in a nice arrangement was $38 delivered and it got there on the morning of the day I specified (Feb 13) Link to comment
Jason+Joanna Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 I used www.ChinaFlowerNet.com -- it cost $28.95 for 12 roses. The service was very good, and the flowers were fresh. Most of all she is one happy camper. I am happy it all worked out. Link to comment
Stats Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 I just wish she was here,,,, sigh. She managed to find a phone card and call me from Zunyi, Guizgou. That was a nice surprise. Hopefully she will be returning soon after the mourning process is over. I need to Google the Chinese Valentine's day. We will celebrate it then. Link to comment

Trigg, Ive already used that when someone complained about "everything" being made in China. Oh geez, its 2am. What the #$&^% am I still doing up. Nitey nite Link to comment
