Is it safe to order online from Russia?

[Sativadiva]

I found a website out of Russia that I want to order something off of, but im unsure If its safe? Anybody have experience with this?

Why would you even consider that?

I wouldn't risk it. Too much corruption in Russia Eastern Block and former Soviet Countries. I would recommend going to a US based store that imports.

Dealing locally will almost always be easier.

Uh... well, I'd give it slightly better than 50/50 odds that you'll actually get what you paid for. Tip: if you wanna buy something from somebody in Russia, use an American site like eBay or Yahoo Shopping or something like that. Maybe Amazon. But to just go to some whatever.ru website and send them money?? Dude... seriously... no.

If you ordering goods it's probably okay. If your ordering people (a wife maybe?) I'd stay away. Those girls will stab you till your dead.
