Getting a CD gift-wrapped and to Australia

Mr Ray

So i'm trying to get a gift for my Mum who is currently living in Aus, I myself am in the UK. Its the remastered version of the Beatles album "Magical Mystery Tour", so pretty much any good music retailer should have it in stock. In fact, most of the good CD retailers that showed up on google do have it in stock; the gift itself isn't the problem. Its the gift wrapping.

Now let me just say that yes, I have tried google, but clearly my google-fu is weak in this case. I spent over half an hour trying to craft the perfect string to enter into google that would give me websites selling CDs, with a gift-wrap option available. I found plenty of sites that sell CDs, plenty that offer gift-wrapping, one that only sells gift-wrapping and nothing else, and even some that sell both CDs and gift wrapping, minus the ability to order one wrapped in the other. I found plenty of sites that "specialise" in gift wrapping, but only sell pap like wine and teddy bears.

What I really need is a music store that delivers, and has a gift-wrap option available. She's in Melbourne if it makes any difference. I really need to get this sent out ASAP as her birthday is on Monday and I have no idea how long this will take to go from order to delivery.

Help me internet!

Some of them don't list as an option until you get to the delivery options, I know this site is like that but they aren't opening up in aus until December. Try going to the one's you've found the CD at and stopping before you enter payment details to check for a gift wrap option?

Amazon UK is cheaper than most australian music retailers, will ship to Australia within about a week, two at most, and offers gift-wrapping.

Why don't you just buy it yourself and send it. Like people have done for centuries before the interloops were invented.

[EDIT] Ah, I can see now that the problem would be the time scale here. I will now shut up and advice you to program your cell phone calendar to remind you a month in advance next year. That's what I do, this system will totally screw me over the years I buy new phones though.

Have you placed any calls to any of this companies?

A live person can sometimes get things done.

Just a suggestion, I suppose!
