It's akin to sending unmarked non-sequential bills in a brown envelope to an unverified PO Box at the opposite end of the country. Will you ever see the money again or the goods you've been promised? Are you feeling lucky?

cheers for replies

no way am i sending it then, would be allot better by pay pal wouldnt it,or transfer from bank.
Have a look at we he said and see what you think.

A. First you will send me your shipping information ( name and address).
1. After i will receive the shipping info, i'll go to a RoyalMail Location and leave the product into your name and with your address as the intended receiver.
2. RoyalMail will check the product, also the legal papers to see that everything is OK with it.

B. You will receive the Tracking Number from RoyalMail as a confirmation that the product is in their custody.
1. After that, you will have to make a money transfer via Western Union on my name, as a guarantee, and send me the payment informationl.
2. I will check the Money Transfer, and if everything is in order, I will deliver the product to your door step.
3. After you will receive the product and you will be completely satisfied with it, you can order more from me.

any thoughts

Royal Mail don't offer this sort of service.

Don't walk - run!

Is it an eBay purchase? In which case you could use the official eBay Escrow service but be wary of using any service the seller proposes.

Mate of mine lost £900 through Western Union transfers & a hacked eBay account before the dangers of that particular type of transfer was generally known.

What would happen if i sent him the money through paypal.would i have any comeback if he did not send the goods. The purchase is from a wholesaler, well so called wholesaler.
Also some questions go for using bank transfer.

cheers

It sounds like your buying something of ebay.and it sounds very much like a scam.Wherever you are getting this item from walk away and buy from somebody else
