all-
i know there are some folks here who do bike business with people in france regularly. i have mailed cash there previously, and had no trouble. however, i am about to send my first substantial amount of money to somebody there (for an appropriate on-topic item, of course). i am going to send an international money order, but have never done that before. i would like to avoid western union, as i have had problems with them in the past. if possible, i'd like for something to work similar to the way a domestic money order works from the USPS (i.e. i get a certified check and then can just mail that off, the seller then just can deposit that). i checked on the USPS website, and their international money orders are not accepted in france. any suggestions are encouraged.
please advise
thank you
