International payment for goods

  • Luckily got reimbursed fees, extra cost and a "Gesture of Goodwill". Shall be using Barclays from now on. BOS said they will escalate to the Website Team that International payment instructions are not clear.

    It's good that Barclays didn't charge a fee for the transfer itself, but I'd imagine the exchange rate was a good bit less favourable than it would have been with Transferwise or similar.

    (Edit: unless you have the Barclays euro account and transferred from there - in that case it's a good fee-free option.)
