Selling speakers to a buyer in Russia?


Hi all!

I may have a buyer for my PBN speakers in Russia.  What do I need to do to make sure I'm not scammed?

I sent a cartridge to France and a Tone Arm to Australia. And another cartridge to Canada but of course that is in the US. Just kidding Eh! All went fine!

Gentlemen,
I live in Russia and pretty frequently getting stuff from US.
There are strict rules on our customs and sometimes they work pretty poorly (it could take up to one month sometimes, but mostly (9.7 of 10 times) it could be delivered in 2 weeks). For example, if your speakers are weighty then you gonna have to send them divided (30kg (66.14 pounds) per package could be received per month taxfree). Also, always use USPS only since other shipping services are prohibited for individuals here. But there is another way to send it — you can suggest the buyer to ship the package via a forwarder like pochtoy.com or shipito.com for example. It’ll be much more comfortable for the seller in US since the shipping is gonna be within US (such forwarders has their warehouses in different states). When the package arrived to the warehouse, customer gets photos of the package and then picks the best way to ship the package to himself in Russia.

Anyway, I just wanted to fix this myth that every Russian is a SCAM since it isn’t, obviously, and we all love audio. So let’s trade more cool stuff transborder). For example, I use an American legend — MC275 in my setup, recently I ordered quad KT88 for it via US store since I trust US sellers more that ours either but I do live here and I’m not a SCAM.
Good comment @theppd 
I have dealt with various record collectors in Russia who are incredibly knowledgeable -Yuri Grishin, for example, has written those superb books on the famous British recording labels. There seems to be a very healthy community of enthusiasts in Russia.  
And one more russian audio enthusiast. For my head-fier enterprise (~80 headphones on metal http://www.head-fi.org/t/715478/headphones-for-metal-music-ultimate-solution) I have experience of purchase of headphones in different countries - i.e. US, Japan, Australia, Sweden. Never had any problems with sellers (happy me), never sellers had any problem with me.
So myths are myths, reality - Russia is NOT the land of brown-bears-hackers ))
@levap not entirely thrue since it is a country of bears and hackers, also, vodka, babushka, ak47 and us Audiophiles.
