    I would like to order something from england but they want a cheque.

    What is the best thing to do here, as i don't have cheques?

    Would a postal order do? Converting the pound to euro, using an online converter, is this reliable?

    Can i go into a bank, and ask them could i send it in pounds? Can they do anything for me?

    Sterling draft from the bank.

    Do the only accept cheque? Seems a bit odd..

    Is the sterling draft the same as a cheque?

    It is better than a cheque. You can also go into the post office and get a Sterling Draft.

    A draft is guaranteed by the underwriting bank, whereas a cheque could always bounce.

    Thanks, i never knew about these drafts. I have got it in the post now, i presume it has to clear first before the item i want is posted. Probaby get it towards the end of next week or the week after.
