Nick, A couple months ago, I sold a lens to a Canadian. He paid me with a Canadian money order; I forget whether it was a Postal money order or a bank money order. Anyway, two days after I mailed it to my credit union, I received a message on my answering machine: Because the money order was "foreign," it would take a few days to clear. It took about four business days. I was surprised; I had assumed that a money order is as good as gold. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
