Hi,
Just wondering is it possible to purchase Postal Orders online, then perhaps have them sent to you. Or do I have to actually goto the Post Office for such things?
I'm only asking as I note that you can purchase and print stamps online these days, so was just wondering if this extends to such things as postal orders etc.
Thanks.

It could have been worse. At least source code's not combustible, or you can bet somebody at McAfee would have lit it.

I don't think you can buy them online.
On a different note, I am a bit shocked by their fluffy la-la-land description of using POs on ebay, and why you might be hesitant to use other methods... (bold text is mine)
'If you fancy shopping online but don't have a bank account or simply feel nervous about handing over your personal financial details, a Postal Order bought from your local Post Office® branch could be the answer.
Simply find what you're looking for, on an auction site like eBay for example, and make your purchase as normal. Then buy the correct value postal order in your local Post Office® and send it to the vendor through the post. A Postal Order also offers an inexpensive way of giving you peace of mind when you're shopping by mail order, paying bills or sending a cash gift.'My TV is broken!
