Local Currency & Gifting
Q: Can I buy a gift for someone in a different country and pay in my local currency?
You can absolutely send a gift to another country — just enter their address as the shipping address at checkout. One thing to know: your order will be priced and charged in the currency of the destination country, not your own. That's because prices, taxes, and import handling are all tied to where the order ships. So if you're in the UK sending a gift to a friend in the US, you'll see US pricing and pay in USD; if you're in the US sending to the UK, you'll pay in GBP with UK VAT included. Your bank will convert the charge to your home currency at its own rate, and depending on your card this may include a small foreign-transaction fee — that part is between you and your card provider. The good news for your recipient: as always, there are no surprise charges on delivery.
