This has me a bit worried.
Quoting the product page here on SR:
"!ALL INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING IS NOT INCLUDED. Your order will be shipped DHL and you will have to pay for additional shipping cost!"
Could someone shed some light on how this actually works? My gut reaction is that I will have to sign on delivery and pay cash in hand or by card, which sounds like a Bad Idea.
What happens if my address is a P.O. box, do DHL deliver to boxes at all?

This is a horrible idea for buyer security. It forces the buyer to sign/claim the package is theirs so if it is intercepted by customs they won't be able to deny knowledge of the shipment. DO NOT DO THIS

Avoid anything weird or with a story. Unless you have been working with someone for a long time any story is hiding something bad.

DHL ship person to person. You cannot ship to a PO box.

Kind Bud: That is so true. Its like the 'mate' who can always source something in excellent quality for next to nothing.
Then when you want in there is always some random convoluted story about how its held somewhere else and its difficult to get hold of them or their dog ate it because he usually keeps his dog treats in the same place.. ::)
I have one of those 'mates' :)
