How to get a postal order??

MiniMetro

I presume you get them at the post office. I bought off a guy in England, can I get a postal order in Sterling at an Irish post office??

Thanks in advance

yes just go into the p.o. and ask for a sterling postal order to the value of ?? then they will charge you the equivilent euro's plus their own commission depending on how expensive the postal order is. then u send it to the english guy. hope that helps

Thanks a million for the fast response. I've left the guy in the lurch a bit.

Another way is to get a sterling draft from the bank, that works too (probably a little bit dearer perhaps).

I asked in my local post office for a sterling postal order and they said they didn't do them. So I had to get a sterling bank draft from the bank.

So I had to get a sterling bank draft from the bank.

I asked my Bank for a sterling draft/cheque for stg 17.00 and they wanted to charge me the equivalent of stg 25.00 total ....

According the An Post website, sterling drafts are available at the 'larger post offices', so give them a buzz before going in.

Won't be very much cheaper.
