    You recommended this to me a while ago DZUG1 http://auctionchex.com/about-s.html

    Will it work in this case I wonder?


    No - wrong way round. And probably too slow/unacceptable to payee anyway

    I will have to call first to see if they take TC at first place, and Travelex told me they can do TC, can I trust them? Do you know Travelex? Isn't it the thing you see in the airports?

    Travelex are a BdeC, and certainly sell travellers cheques. What brand I don't know.....

    Looks it up - AMEX.

    You can certainly trust them to deliver the goods, not necessarily at a cheap price

    Thank you once again.
    A friend of mine told me I can go to Barclays as I have an account with them and issue a Internatioanl Bank Draft, he told me the Check would be covered by a US Bank (Barclays in New York), is that correct? If that's the case I would do it with them, I never knew Barclays has a branch in NY up until now. :confused:

    Sorry don't know the answer but it's worth a try.

    No excuse, I'm just an idiot who needs to have a proper schedule.

    But it's the UK's fault for being slow ??
    I personally have never met so slow people as in the US, and you seem to be one of them!

    Replying to ignorance or racism with more of the same doesn't make the world a better place. On the plus side at least the OP admits their own stupidity. Cheers. :beer:
