Title: Mailing Cheques
Post by: Agent_Tachyon on November 29, 2006, 05:32:42 PM
Does anyone know if I can mail a Canadian cheque to the states and have somebody cash it there, say to pay for a Subgenius Ordainment/Doktorate?

Why don't you go to your bank and ask for a US bank draft?

Like a money order? I've sent a lot of those, and was just trying to avoid the fees by using checks I already have. Notice my nifty, and may I add casual, regional spelling changes?!

Similar to a money order, except it's called a bank draft.  :lol:

But Czechs are hot.  :-(

I've got a tee-shirt that says "Czech me out!" on it.





I don't wear it.

That's awesome. On a related note, I got ahold of a credit card and ordered via that manner instead. The kit should come any day now.

I'm sorry, Xolik, but we're going to have to ask you to leave.

In my defense, it was a gift from Ping Ping many years ago, and I can't bring myself to toss it out. It's just so corny!
