ever money transaction that pass through legal instituion such as bank, postal service or paypal do have service charges, they only differ on how much they charge for this service.\n\nThere are several service you can try, sending money order, like a postal check, the recipient can cash this from the post office, send a check, she can cash this from the bank, wire transfer either through bank or Western Union.\n\nThen there is the e-fund, like paypal.\n\nUsually the charges are bill at your end.

Use US Postal Service.  It should be the same as shipping to someone in the US.

Send me $5 for the answer....\n\n\nSeriously, its a scam.  You send money, they send you directions for doing exactly what they are doing.  It used to be the "Stuff the Envelope" scam, but snail mail is out.

If you dont have a bank account and you need to send someone a check/ cheque then get a money order. Walmart and local US postal services sell them. You pay a little extra on top of what amount you need it in. Just go there and say you need to buy one and tell them how much you want it for. It is guaranteed money better than a personal check because it can't bounce/ not be valid.

Try explaining to your girlfriend that a SWIFT code is like a house address and postcode that help overseas bank find the exact bank in Japan with the code combinations (Country code, bank code, etc).\n\nShe can get it by calling the bank she belongs to and explain the situation, that someone wanted to send her some money from overseas and needed the SWIFT code.  Otherwise, she can go to her bank (most likely she'll end up going to the head branch where they do most of the International transactions--depends on the bank's policies) and ask them for the SWIFT code.  Let her know that it should be as easy as withdrawing money from the bank, if she's all worried about it.

Pay Pal is a hassle anyway because the 'seller' (you and your fiance) will have to pay a small fee for the priviledge of having money dropped into your account.  \n\nCreate-a-gift\n\nSometimes what you really want isn't something that can be wrapped up in a gift box and sent in the mail. For instance, if you'd rather have money towards a new car than a 7-speed blender, you should register for -- and receive -- exactly what you want. Our "create-a-gift" service enables you to receive American Express Gift Cheques to be used towards whatever it is you want for your wedding gift -- traditional or not.\n\nWhat are American Express Gift Cheques?\n\nEssentially, an American Express Gift Cheque is a fancy way (and certainly a more polite way) of giving cold, hard cash. The Gift Cheques can be used anywhere, for anything, wherever American Express Travelers Cheques are accepted. This eliminates the possibility of having to return your fourth toaster. And these snappy Cheques are dummy-proof as well -- they are fully refundable if lost or stolen.\nHow "Create-a-Gift" Works\n\nAll you have to do is think of something you want that isn't on the registry. It can literally be anything money can buy -- a single item, a gift certificate for a service, or even just money toward something big that you two have your hearts set on. Next, make up a title for the product, such as "Dinner for Two at the Rainbow Room" or "Two Pairs of inline skates". Give your gift a basic description so your guests know what they are giving. For example, "To celebrate our one month anniversary, we plan to spend an evening at the restaurant where we first locked lips." Finally, decide the total amount of money (in $50 increments) you would like to receive towards the cost of the gift. You can then request as many $50 gift certificates as needed to reach your desired amount. So, if you would like to spend $100 at your favorite restaurant, you would enter two gift certificates for $50 each.\n\nMore expensive gifts, such as a gift of $500 toward your honeymoon expenses, can easily become a group gift shared by several guests. In this case you would create 10 gifts of $50 to add up to the total $500 you wish to receive. Individual guests can then each purchase as many gift cheques as they¹d like. They can purchase one for $50 or three for $150, and so on.\n\nPlease keep in mind that guests will be charged a $5-per-cheque service and handling fee. That means your guest will pay $55 for each $50 cheque you receive.\n\nYour "Create-a-product" appears on your registry list and functions just like any other gift. Your guest sees "Dinner for Two", selects "Add to Shopping Cart", and puts in a quantity (so they if they want to pay for the whole dinner, they can buy both $50 certificates).\n\nWhen a guest purchases one of your created products, first you receive notification via email (as with any Knot gift,) and, as with any other gift shipment, your American Express Gift Cheque will arrive via UPS so you can sign for it.\nWhat should you register for? Here are some ideas:\n\n    * A down-payment for a house or apartment\n    * A pure-bred puppy\n    * Dollars towards your honeymoon\n    * A new computer or software\n    * Car lease installments\n    * Gourmet cooking classes\n    * Museum memberships\n    * Ski-lift tickets\n    * Ballroom dancing lessons\n    * Photography or pottery classes\n    * A weekend getaway\n    * Maid service\n    * Spa treatments for two\n    * An artwork or an antique\n    * Film stock to make a movie\n    * A tree for your front yard\n    * An air conditioner\n    * A paint job\n    * Two plane tickets to Paris (in other words, anything)

There may be other ways, but I would go to a bank in your area (preferably a large bank with lots of offices around the state or your region).  Most large banks have ares which handle foreign excange and international transactions on a daily basis.

Let me guess, they are located in Quebec?  They have been scamming people for years, including me.  Buy, I was lucky and I got my money back.  This is what you do, contact your attorney general's office and also police in Quebec if you can.  Also I know they told you to wire the money... and if they said Western Union I am surprised because they are the people who warned me about the scam.  If it is Western Gram... Money Gram then contact them and give them all the information.  The next step you do is contact the vender in Canada and tell them you wired the money.  When they go to pick it up, make sure you notify the police there and they will get arrested.  \n\nGood Luck and do this ASaP

Some banks will allow you to wire money to other states and countries or between people. I would ask such entities as bank of America, Citibank, Washington mutual, chase, etc.\n\nBe aware that the fee may be a little more than western union but not by much. they also report to the feds any transactions larger than 9,00 which should be OK unless you are doing something illegal.

U.S. expatriates in the Netherlands seem to most recommend the use of a service called XEtrade:\nhttps://www.xe.com/fx/\nfor transfer of funds from the U.S. to the Netherlands.

I think that what would be best is to contact the Gap or some cool shop in the UK and ask for a gift voucher and then pay with Credit Card and ask for it to be sent to the receipients address. Some companies do that you know, that will save $$$ on postage and it will get there sooner. That way he can choose whatever he wants and be happy with his gift.

You can buy one online and they will ship it to you but you have to send the money first. Usually as an international money order.
