ReplyDeleteAre money orders still vogue? A relic of the slow mail era !
It has also gone instant MO route. Web based tr by postal dept.
DeleteNow it is very simple. A form where you have to fill in few essential details on one side only. Like before you can write a very brief message. Like before you also get an ack by post, though this may take some time to come or may be lost somewhere on the way to your letter box. But payment is quick and reliable. You must be able to provide mobile phone numbers of recipient and sender.
