Powys FHS - Methods of purchase for overseas customers as
alternatives to credit card payments while GENfair service is
suspended.
USA:
Please note: We cannot accept dollar cheques (checks) since the
conversion cost is often more than the face value!
International Currency Express will exchange American money and put
it into the form of a Sterling check for a $5 charge.
Their address is: 427 North Camden Drive #F, Beverly Hills, CA
90210, telephone: 1-888-278-6628.
Washington DC Office, telephone: 1-888-842-0880.

This service is claimed to be 'very good'. Call them for that day's
exchange rate. They issue Ruesch International checks.
Sterling travellers checks having a payee line (eg Amex) and made
out to 'Powys Family History Society' may also be used.
CANADA:
One of our Canadian members obtains Sterling cheques for no charge
through the Royal Bank where he runs an account (which pays
little/no interest).
Also you can use Accu-Rate Foreign Exchange,
Ottawa, Vancouver, London & Kitchener, Canada. URL:

AUSTRALIA:
AIGS Inc offers a sterling cheque service for amounts up to £100 for
a fee of AUS$3 and also sells overseas airmail stamps so you can
send stamped SAEs with your overseas queries.
We have received no feedback to date from GENfair, but suspect the
service may remain suspended throughout November due to sad family
circumstances.
