Also, in case you're unfamiliar with it, a postal order (money order in the U.S.) is a way of sending money without using a bank check.
You give the clerk the money you want to send, they create the money/postal order, you mail it with your order. It was very useful if you didn't have a bank account or if you wanted to send an international order.
