OK, I just saw the whole 'photo taken on delivery of a gift' thing crop up in another thread, but I'm making a conscious effort not to take that particular thread 'off topic' In the particular context that it was mentioned, then I assume it was to 'prove' the lady was real. Fair enough, but I am just uncomfortable with the idea of someone turning up at the house of someone I've swapped letters with, maybe had a conversation or two, and sticking a camera in her face. Maybe it's more acceptable in FSU and if it is, then fine. I just can't believe that everyone would be happy to answer the door, unprepared, probably not looking her best and have a photo taken. I know if FedEx start delivering packages to my door and asking me to say cheese at the camera, then I'll tell them where to go. Also, what if she's not there to receive it, but say, her brother or mother answers the door? Does the picture get taken anyway? Do you get a picture of her dad, stood there in his vest holding your flowers and grinning at the camera? Would that result in people shouting 'scam' just because she wasn't home? It seems like a horrible idea to me, and sure, you could just say 'Well don't do it then' but I'm wondering if people actually use this photo option, and if the ladies are usually happy about it?

sure it is not done like this. photo can be taken only if recipient agrees to do it.

Agree with everything you say freddy, if someone stuck a camera in my face well, a press reporter tried it once and ended up at the dentist's for his troubles :)

i tried to order the photo option twice but never recieved a photo or explanation of why i didn't receive a photo. but they did refund me the money that i paid for it. i'm greatful for that at least, but disappointed because a photo was not taken of my girl for reasons that i don't know. i wish i knew why.

I sent a Christmas basket to my Moldovan lady and, on a lark, opted to have a photo taken of her receiving it. After she was given the basket - the delivery-guy informed her that the sender had requested a photo and asked her if she would agree, or would she like to take a little time to get ready for the shot to be taken. She tended to be a little slow in getting ready - so the photographer reportedly stressed that she had the option to refuse (he seemed pretty anxious for this option to be chosen I guess as he stood there). After she was prepared the photographer came in the house where she posed for an excellent photo. They scanned the Polaroid print and sent it to me as an email attachment.

Jetmba, were you happy with the results? did she look as stunning as you imagined?

Actually I knew my lady already. I had met her on a Romance Social in Odessa and she was (and is still) a stunner. I had also spent three weeks with her in Moldova a few moths after the Social. The picture idea was just a way for me to see her smiling face again, receiving the gift. But, yes, I was very happy with the result. She was as gorgeous as I remembered.

I would be highly suspicious if I was august1456, and the expected picture of an as yet unseen lady, were not coming. If the lady refuses, no picture will be taken and, of course, you will not be informed that that was the reason. And if the lady refuses there may certainly be something up that you might be concerned about. As I mentioned, in my case at least the lady was given adequate time to prepare for a photo. It wasn't just snapped in her face when she opened the door.

Because there are a lot of scammers out there, if a lady is seriously about you she will probably agree to a photo and enjoy the gift. I have used the flowers / photo three times with no problems.
