Hi All,
I need to get a couple of Franklin Instructional CDs.
Paul only accepts U.S. funds and does not seem to accept pay pal.
I live in Scotland U.K.
Anyone got any Idea as to the most efficient way of ordering.Pehaps a vendor or music store can fulfill my order.
Best regards
Billy

You can probably get a US dollar money order from your bank.

Thanks John,
Last time I did that was when I bought my Hilton pedal and the bank charges were pretty high.
I may have to get in touch with my great great grand auntie Matilda's family who emigrated on the mayflower.
best regards
Billy

Billy, Before I immigrated to here from Belfast, I use to go to Barclays or Thomas Cook and exchange some pound notes for some dollar notes. Put them in a registered letter and they always reached their destination! It think it's the cheapest way. (From one expatriate Irishman to a Scotsman!!)

Billy, you can PayPal the money to me, and then I'll send Paul a check for you. No problem. Send me an email and we'll work it out, buddy.

The most secure and easiest way (beside Paypal, etc) to accept funds or pay with funds from a Foreign Country is with an International Postal Money Order,(the pink one). Of course the Country has to be one that has an agreement with the USA on the handling of funds. These can be cashed as the local Post Office. I always specify the IPMO on any out of Country sale, if they are a participant.

Unfortunately, after checking, Scotland is not on the list. Here is the USPS web site for info.
