Nancy I don't send money orders for the sites I've used (specifically, the British Nat'l Archives, British History.com) but instead charge it to my credit card. Faster, simpler. There may be a fee (perhaps $5) for int'l transactions, I don't recall now, but it is certainly not $30. What sites are you using?

My bank charges $30 U.S. dollars just for the check, making most transactions ridiculously expensive. Any suggestions?
