Links to major international postal services
|
|
In case you should need to ship goods from
other countries, we link some of the major international postal
services. Please aknowledge that we can't list charges for each
country.
If you need to transfer money from different countries, your
national postal service provides the IPMO product,
international postal money order: it makes you transfer money from
any to any foreign country, in any currency, even if you don't own a
credit card or bank account. Simply go to your nearest post office
and ask for informations about it. It is a very simple operation and
costs are reasonable. |

International money
transfers: methods and features
|
|
When you are requested to send payments to
remote beneficiaries (sellers, friends ... anyone you wish), first
of all you should choose a convenient method to do it: choosen
method must be safe but also low expensive (because sometimes, if
you don't choose carefully, you risk and spend more for the transfer
then for the purchase itself, and this is nonsense).
We are now listing some of the most common methods used in case of
internet purchases, trying to explain why and when you should prefer
them. Hope you can take advantage from this information: |
|
|
|
METHOD |
EXPLANATION |
|
|
|
BANK TRANSFER
(WIRE) |
Go to your bank and order a wire. Costs depend on the
bank of the sender. |
It's the safest way to send
payments worldwide. If any data is not precise, the
payment comes back. |
It's not real-time: it takes
a few days to be viewed and confirmed by the recipient
but it's safest. |
|
IPMO
(international
postal money
order) |
You pay cash by any post office and the recipient will
receive a cheque. Costs of the operation depend on the
total amount transferred. |
Paier won't need credit card
or bank account: everyone can do it. |
It takes days to arrive. It
can't be cashed automatically: must go and collect money
from a post office. |
|
PAYMENTS
BY EMAIL |
Both methods lets you transfer money worldwide (any
currency) by email. You sign up for free with your email
address and you can upload funds by your bank or by your
credit card; then you would be able to send money from
yours to the beneficiary's email address. Transferring
money by email is simple and very fast: these payments
arrive in real-time and confirmations are fully
automated.
If you search around the net, you'll find many services
like these: unfortunately it's difficult to understand
if they are safe or not. In case of Moneybookers and
Paypal, they both exist since so much time that we can
consider them safe. Anyway it's always better to use
them with care and if you must transfer important
amounts, we suggest you to do it by your bank: maybe it
will take some more days but it will grant peaceful
sleep while waiting! (Refer to official websites to get
detailed infos about costs and rules).
Online methods to send/receive payments by email have
got fortune around the net also because they allow all
people (including private person) to receive payments
from credit cards. |
|
NOMINAL TRANSFERS |
Western Union is a private service who lets you transfer
money by name/code. You must go to a WE point and order
a trasfer from yours to the recipient's name (addresses
are not requested): officer will start the operation by
assigning names and a unique code to it. This code
identifies the transfer internationally: you must
communicate the code to the recipient and then he will
be able to go and collect the payment from a WE point
nearest to him.
Nominal transfers usually work fine but they are not the
best about security because people pay and collect money
cash only. (Refer to official website to get
detailed infos about costs and rules) |
