Interesting, I wasn't aware of that side of Postal Money orders - nice to know. I've used them a fair bit as they are cheap and convenient, and being in a rural area, the post office is *way* closer than my bank! I've actually bought my last two VWs with postal money orders - easy for me, and gives the seller some comfort as well. Thanks for sharing... -- Shawn Wright I.T. Manager Shawnigan Lake School |
