Don't know why you would wish to do so since the islands are filled with perfume stores at pries less than stateside.

You can call UPS but it might cost a lot to ship thru them or FedX.

Ha!

What a coinkydink! I just asked this very question at the Post Office yesterday.

Perfumes are flammable and so are NOT something you can ship by USPS.

I have almost 20 perfumes that I've collected in recent years and lovingly stored so that they don't turn. Some are extremely rare, unicae even!

Of course they are coming with me!

Since I am moving to the VI in a week I'll simply put them in my checked bags. Yes, it'll smell to high heaven if they should break ...

Better check TSA rules about bringing in luggage.
They have so many rules and regs. these days about what you can bring in luggage and what you can't it boggles the mind. Don't know if this extends to perfumes. Hope your perfumes make it safe and sound.
