Dealing with the Nigerians to a bit tricky. Be carful. Usually they will want you to send them money by Western Union first. This is rather expensive, and a pain in the neck. The shipping will by by Fed Ex and will cost $40 to $50. I have yet to be pleasantly surprised with what was sent. Usually the quality is not what they represented. One time I waited about 3 months and made many calls before finially getting a package that was very poor quality.

Now try to send anything back. There is no way you can insure the package going back into Nigeria. So you are pretty much stuck with what ever they send you.

I think you are better off dealing with someone how has the goods here in the USA, and has a very easy return and payment policy.
