I have a friend in ZA and we have done business in the past. The
problem with doing business with friends in South Africa is that
there's no easy way to move money around.  We found exactly 2 methods.
1.) Bank transfer. ($40+ fee at the time. Kinda kills any profit) 2.)
Smallish amounts of cash in many different looking envelopes. (Spreads
the risk. Mail theft is not uncommon I'm told.)

No Paypal, no Western Union.

I'd love to import those windows (which would be the easy part.)
Paying for them is a PITA.
