Best / Most Reliable Way To Ship A Gift (Concert Tickets) To Italy
Hey RFD,
Long story short... My childhood friend, who now lives in Italy, is turning 40 this February and I got him a pair of tickets to see his favourite band perform in the neighbouring town.
I bought the tickets last month from the Italian equivalent of Ticketmaster, gift-wrapped and all, and had them shipped to my address in Toronto because it was way too early for direct delivery. I am now trying to figure out the best/reliable way to ship them to him, hopefully without incurring any import duties. The face value of the tickets is about 105 Euros each (210 total).
If you had experience shipping items to Italy, I would very much appreciate any suggestions. Cost is not my biggest concern.
My other option is to ask the ticketing site to re-issue the tickets and have them shipped directly to his address. Thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
