Yes Andy I sent flowers through the Chnlove gifts. Here's the story about it. I sent a birthday card to her home it arrived in time. Her BD is a few days before Valentines day. But she was moving that weekend. So I had chnlove send the flowers to the agency and had the translator make sure she got them. It all went well. I don't have the new address? I haven't asked for it. But I didn't use credits for it before, I asked. I let the translator know what was going on and got the address with no problem.

Cheers again guys for the comments, i will try to send the card n hope it gets there, but i may use Chnlove to send her a bracelet, with the exchange rate it's only about 20 quid, so if it does not arrive it's not really gonna break the bank right? I guess i know if she really got it if i get a picture of her wearing it, or i see it on her wrist when, or if i visit. (like i say it is early days still, but she seems like my type of girl)

Well, according to Chnlove, if you request the address through them, they do not tell the lady, unless you are a US citizen...? Dunno why that makes a difference.


It is because that there is a law in the US that requires the international bride agencies to do it.  If they want to be able to conduct business with american citizens.  The root of the law has to do with preventing ladies from being approached by sexual predators.  We also have to fill out a from and answer questions about our criminal history, or lack thereof.

Greetings Brothers,

Andy,

I have sent a parcel to China from Canada and did as suggested here with the english and Chinese address and it arrived within a day of when Canada Post said it would intact and no issues.  Also I sent Zhen some flowers through Chnlove for The Valentines in August just past and she received them also no issues.

Yes Chnlove is a money making business but tehy still try their best to get teh deliveries done on time and to teh right person,.  It is after all only good business to do so.  As for teh mail make sure you use a strong type of box with way to much tape on it and the address in english and chinese very clearly visible on teh front and you should not have an issue.

Regards,

Zhen and Brian

Ron,

If you have the Chinese version, use that by printing it out and attach (stick/tape) to what ever your sending... It'll probably get there that much quicker....

I'll use Robs as an example. I print the envelope from the computer but you can also make a label and stick it onto? At worst print it and tape it onto an envelope. Just as this is.

Yep.  That's what I did too Vince.  I regrettably forgot to add her phone number, which would be a big help if there are any doubts about the translation.  Don't forget that if you can help it...

You want her address written in English and in Mandarin characters.  I went through this already.  The two cards I sent in English or Pinyin never arrived.  When I had her write her address for me in an email using English and Mandarin characters all my cards now arrive and it takes about two weeks using air mail.  I just saved her address and print and cut it out and tape to the envelope as needed.:icon_cheesygrin:

Guys, if you get Avery address labels you can get a Word macro to print you a whole page of address labels. God, it would take me an hour to write my lady's Chinese address by hand.
