Can I buy a Nexus 5 in the US using my account and link someone else's Visa card?

Question

Electronic commerce

The situation is as follows: now there is a friend in the USA who will soon go home. I decided to order a Nexus 5 for him, but I can’t transfer money to his card, there are some problems with the card. I'm interested in the question: is it possible to buy a device if I:
a) create my new "supposedly American" account, link my card to it, pay for the purchase, but indicate the delivery address of a friend? Will there be any problems getting delivery? Could there be any other pitfalls in this case?
b) I will link my card to a friend's account and he will buy the device himself, from his account, but from my card? Again, what are the nuances?
Perhaps there is another way? Thanks in advance.
