There is no 100% guarantee in anything much anymore but the sites that have safe guards on their sites to protect the people who come there will have a lock displayed either in the address bar or down on the bottom of the screen, sometimes both places. They have encryption codes built into their sites that scrambles your information making it nearly impossible for anyone to take it. With hackers today nothing is 100% but these sites are usually pretty good.
If you money is with PayPal they have a large range of vendors that they deal with that you can access right off their site through a link.

Hi Gabbana
I have bought perfume from a site called strawberrynet.com . It has lots of perfumes and creams for cheaper than in Australia.
I live in Australia and I bought some perfume from them from my sister who was living in China. It was very handy as I didn't have long to send the present before her birthday and they got it to her faster than a present I sent from Australia would have. I haven't bought anything from them recently though because I usuall just buy local aromatherapy products, but I was happy with strawberrynet when I needed that sort of thing.
You could also try ebay.com and amazon, they have places for a lot of countries.

I can't remember exactly as it was a few weeks ago, but I think it just took a few days to get to her. I don't think they actually sent it from Australia but they possibly had a closer office to China that they sent it from.
They say the charge 10% of the perfume price for shipping (maximum $10) because they have to conform to some international post regulations.
The site has changed a lot, as I just went and had a look and now you have to pick your country when you go there and some country sites are in a different language, so they possibly may charge different rates in other countries, I recommend you have a look and see what they say for your country.
I think if I wanted them to send it to china now I may have to send them a special note because you have to go in by country and i don't think I had to do it that way before.
They also say that shipping of skincare and makeup is still free worldwide, but just check your own countries page to see what they say (I guess otherwise buy from the Australian page if you get make up or skincare).
I can't remember the price, I bought her some samsara perfume which they didn't have in Australia, only the edt. THis perfume is quite expensive - I noticed that it is now $63.00 but I think it was cheaper when I bought it - but I knew it was one of her favourites.
They do have some specials for around 12.00 US such as all over shimmer (highlighter for eyes, cheeks and lips) or sweet balm moisturising tinted lip balm. These may be alright if you can add a couple of dollars to the money from mylot or wait for more money.
Otherwise check out ebay and amazon as well to see if they are available in your country.
I hope you find something.
Thanku so much for the best response, that was lovely.
