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:

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.
