U.P.S. allows anyone to do C.O.D. orders,  so the seller can just send the
stuff to the buyer anyway.  You also want to have some form of contract
listing what is to be exchanged for what,  and the seller sends this to
the buyer either before sending the package or with it on the outside of
the package.

U.P.S. COD fees are $6.05 currently,  so for a multi-hundred dollar system
this isn't too expensive.
