A. It's the same as a normal cheque. You fill in the name of the person who is going to be paid. You keep the stub as a kind of receipt.

How do you cash postal orders - do you take them to the post office or the bank?
Q. Not sure what to do with it. Help much appreciated!

A. If it's uncrossed, it can be cashed at the post office counter. Take some ID with you. If it's crossed (two lines drawn across it) it's like a cheque and has to be paid into a bank account.

what are the charges these days when buying postal orders...is it a static amount or is the extra on top.....?
Q. ...proportional to the amount of the potal order itself? ie does a postal order for 3 10 25 have the same additional amount added? i am presuming there would be no justification for the extra charge being higher, just because the p.o itself is for a larger amount.

Is it possible to get a sterling postal order from an Irish post office?
Q. I live in Ireland and am ordering something from the uk the payment is 6 and i must use a postal order will an irish post office sell postal orders in sterling?
Asked by antoinette c - Sat Feb 21 12:48:09 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. No, you can't buy sterling postal orders in Ireland, but the banks supply sterling drafts. In your position, I would ask a friend or relative in UK (even in NI) to buy and mail the postal order to the seller for me, and I would pay them in euro. Chances are, that friend or relative would be either planning a visit to Ireland or Europe sometime soon, needing euro, and 6 isn't a huge amount to ask for. If the item were to be 5 or 10, another alternative would be to buy the sterling note in any bank, and send it off by registered mail. But the banks don't do sterling coins, to make up other amounts.

A. Not sure about postal orders in Ireland. Check with them. But I think, any banks would do a money order or a bank draft in a foreign currency and have you pay with your local currency. Would that help? I can bet, if a merchant takes postal orders, he would more willingly take a money order or a bank draft.
