Hi Everyone,

I was wondering if someone knows of a great way to send funds overseas?

I think telegraphic transfer is too expensive, and so too Western Union and MoneyGram. Any suggestions? Howabout popping some traveller's checks into an envelope and posting them by registered mail? But this seems too ancient considering the technological environment we live in today.

Customers don't have a credit card, so any ideas?


Cheers,
Columbus.

This answer may be too obvious and not what you are looking for... but any overseas customers we have had in the past have paid via paypal.

You can use Ikobo.com for Money Transfer, though their support is very bad but their Money Transfer Services does work normally and i have been using it for the past 1 year.

If further depends upon various other service providers depending upon the Country you want to send to.

so iKobo won't work here.

Try western union, or some paper checks.

Western Union? No way, even T/T is cheaper.

no fee to apply, but monthly fee of $5, and fee to withdraw and so on ! but it can be used as a checking account as you can print out checks yourself anywhere in the world
