That's a great way to give the scumbags that work at the post office an extra little bonus. In other words....bad idea. :wink:

sure, some people do it, but it is definately not a recommended method of payment as there is too much risk involved. better to use a COD shipping method if you don't want to use paypal or credit cards :wink:

Would not recommend that option - too many not so honest people in the world. A money order is relatively cheap .19 to $ and therefore cheaper than registering a letter.

Better safe than sorry.
Plus, if I was a shopper I would be VERY leery of anyone who wanted me to send cash.
