Money orders are probably available at post offices but check to see if there are any additonal costs as on Postal Orders.

Yes, but if you do that be sure it is wrapped tightly and sent via a reliable shipping method -- Ellusionist cannot be responsible for payments that do not arrive to our offices.


Ellusionist.com wrote:Money Order and Checks (CLICK HERE for detailed directions on how to mail a payment to ellusionist)
Ellusionist accepts US money orders only. These can be obtained from your local bank and/or financial institution, and in some cases your local post office. Money orders are also known as a demand draft in some countries. They must be in US funds, associated with a US bank, or they will be returned to you. If you want to know what the exchange rate would be in your currency a popular site that will estimate this for you is http://www.xe.com. However, your bank has the final say on what the EXACT rate and cost will be to purchase a money order.


Uhm maybe a stupid question but you could just use a credit card?

Ok, I think the text in my previous post will help you a bit in your quest to find out where to get money order forms.

About the creditcard: maybe you should put your sweetest smile on your face and ask your parents (but than, I guess you already tried that...)

i would put my sweetest face on but my folks dont like magic and dont like me doin it think its disastrous to my faith (im muslim).

magic wasnt allowed all them years ago but magic back then was real boil and bubble, toil and trouble if you know what i mean and me folks are a bit 16th century

anyway i know the diff and i know where to draw the line so thats out the question!

oh and text in your last post meaning xe.com? its only currency exchange.


one last thing they explain how to use paypal even though theyve disabled it but the feature they discribe aint on mine

any ideas?

Hmm I see. Well nothing you can do about it I guess.

So I think you should just go to your local bank and ask them for money order forms. I think they'll be happy to assist you.

I honestly don't know. I think you should go to the bank tomorrow and ask them.
Let us (or at least me :wink:) know the results!

USPS AIRMAIL delivery time can take between 1-4 weeks. Generally to the United Kingdom we see packages taking about one week. With India we have seen an order take up to 6-7 weeks.

The cost for the first item is $9.00 and $2.50 for each additional item.

even if some one used the credit card for you its going to be an expensive venture.

can you get the stuff from a uk suplier card not withstanding. :?:

Also I doubt that a UK bank will send US money orders...I think that the easiest way to do it would be to get some US cash from a what's-it-called, and just send that.
