I’m having trouble figuring out how to pay Wilsons for the special that they run. What is the best and least expensive way to accomplish the transfer of US funds to the UK, without a credit card? Thanks for any help.
Money Order.
Cashiers check cost me $7, postage was $0.98
They asked me for a bank transfer. I asked for instructions, they have not replied.
I haven’t even received an email. I’m order 89, so maybe they are still busy with the other 88?
I emailed them back and forth this morning. The initial email just gave the international bank code for a wire transfer. My bank said it would charge $40 for that service. I emailed back asking if I could use a bank draft/cashier’s check and was told that was fine, but Wilson’s said they would charge a fee for accepting that. Still, their fee was much cheaper than my bank’s - so that’s the route I’m taking. cstokes4 - They were saying they were very very busy and that’s why I hadn’t been emailed yet ( i was order number 53 ). I’m sure they’re still refining their backend process to deal with the website versus their old mail-order process. Carol at Sharrow Mills helped me and was responsive during their business hours.
I asked my bank what a direct transfer would cost me. They said $33 for International. I said Cashiers check! The e-mail I got yesterday morning was nothing other than the order total in USD rather than GBP. No instructions or… I had had a series of e-mails with Carol about 2 weeks ago. That is the only reason I knew that a cashiers check would be acceptable. At least that’s what I got from the correspondence. (-:
@FyL Wilsons told you they would assess an additional fee if you paid with cashiers check??? Man oh man that didn’t come up in any of my conversations with em’. Shine startin’ to dull a little here…
It sure is.
The fee wasn’t much, but I feel I shouldn’t list it here in case it is based on total order amount (tiered or percentage, etc) - I don’t want anyone to be mis-informed. With all the confusion, they’ll hopefully switch to a new payment processor that can handle US credit cards.
What a pain in the rump this is becoming. Perhaps PhilipS was right.
Paypal won’t do tobacco either, last I heard.
I wonder if a USPS money order will work? The paypal idea is cool, maybe someone in the company could set up the account as an individual to receive moneys.
PhilipS = Snuff Prophet
Wow! Now I know what SP stands for. Whoa! Bart, you are blowing my mind…
I’ve been using a “water-dowsing” stick to second guess what snuffegnugen is snuffing next, now that he keeps his shades down. Getting mixed results with it. I did not get in on the WoS deal, unfortunately. It is a good deal, but I need to simplify my life in many ways and having more snuff than I could ever use is not a good plan FOR ME. Besides, I want to grow some that I find tolerable. …and yes, Philip is the REAL SP!
I can read between the lines, Bart. I see that you are insulting me and my Grand Cairo again.
HahAH! Not in the least bit!LOL! You should have taken advantage of my reconciliation service back around Easter, though…would have eased your mind a bit!LOL!!
Just leave me and my precious out of your blasphemous talk.
My method of payment is simple: I don’t.
