Does anyone know where to get a money order?

In the US you can get them at banks and almost any store or Western Union. Where can I get one here in Qatar? I do not want to transfer money but I need to send a check and a personal check won't work.

depends on where u want to send money,

most exchanges will give a certified cheque drawn on a bank in the receiving country a low rate,

most Indians seem to send their money this way, costs only a few riyals rather than the 30 riyals my exchange charges or the much higher Western Union rates. I have used it to issue cheques in the UK and the Eurozone

Much cheaper than a telegraphic transfer but u have the postal delay and have to wait for the cheque to clear.

Go to a good exchange, they may have an account the country ure interested in.

above all don't send your money thru the banks as their rates are higher.

try the Post office as well and make ur choice

good luck

No, I'm not looking for Western Union here unless you know that they can provide money orders (I don't think they do). I'm looking to get a money order, where can I get one?
