For samples I see no problem with WU but not for any orders.  PayPal is also acceptable but only if the cost is not to high in your country to recieve payments and or take your money out.

Dear my friend,

Usually, we don't ask our customer to pay for samples! our sample is free, customer just pay for freight! That's ok!

Replying to [Indian shoes]:
We usually use TT and most buyers will accept.
But frankly, the bank fees of TT is quite expensive, and sometimes it may be even more expensive than the sample cost.
So, I've met a customer who adviced to use western union himself.

I didn't know what's western union at that time, and later, i know that western union is not safe for the buyers himself, but it's much cheaper, it only need USD15 as the additional fee for the sender, and you -- the receiver can get the total money which he has sent.
I've sent some US dollars to a customer by western union too, it's quite convenient.
So, my advice is: you can give your customer two choices: one is by TT, the other one is by Western Union, of course the customer is the boss, he will make a choice himself.

Usually product sample is FOC while the courier charges on customer account. In that case you may able customer Import Courier Account No or ask them to inform their courier company pick up sample from so and so.

In case u need to charge for sample, I reconk western union as its faster and has extensive network too.
