Buy from iherb, pay for the cheapest shipping with tracking. The timeline: between 5 - 12 days to arrival.

Jarrows formula is a good brand that comes to mind quickly. If you want a better deal gotta look for yourself.

Note: Melatonin is only for short term uses only, e.g. for quickly getting back on your regular sleep schedule after a 24 hr flight or multiple all-nighters at work.

Beyond that, your friend should be looking at lifestyle changes.

Ah I see. Well in that case instead of waiting for shipping you can probably just get a few sleeping pills from the local pharmacy (gotta try a few as they might not give you any without prescription). It's not good for health but just for a few days use to get accustomed to the work schedule is fully justifiable and will bring more good than harm.

Another equally important thing would be to ensure complete darkness in the room, and a cool temperature (air conditioning on low speed). Getting a sleeping eye mask is great too. Ear plugs if needed.
