Pay through paypal, I have had problems myself buying stuff from the Samba website. The other problem is most people on there will not cover shipping if something does go wrong.

Coming from the states ask him to send it USPS with insurance.

Way cheaper than FEDEX, but still normally around a week, and gives you website tracking plus the $$$ back if it does go missing or is damaged.

Tho... I've bought lots of stuff, and never had a USPS package go missing or get damaged yet.
