Well folks here is my dilemma, I bought a lovely light fitting from Argos when I was over in the UK, thinking I was doing myself a real big favour for getting something so smart and so cheap compared to Oz........however I have moved into a place that needs 2 of these fittings and Argos don't sell to overseas.......thought of lots of ways to do this, get one of my sisters to go into Argos and post me the light fitting, but I really have no idea of how to pay money back into their bank account without paying exorbitant bank fees, etc.......I JUST KNOW some smart person on here has the answer for me.

I have bought stuff from the Argos website, paid using my ANZ credit card and had it delivered to a UK address. I have bought a few things like that. Then all your sister has to do is pay the postage for you.

Other than the above, which is perfect in that scenario, if transferring money is a regular occurrence, you could use Paypal. I have been using it for the last year now, and find it very handy.
I have US$, UK£ and A$ accounts, and can transfer between them, and transfer to any one else's account in any of those currencies.

Wow I knew somebody on here would have a great answer, thanks so much Northernbird

ABC Diamond, yes I use PAYPAL too mainly on eBay but none of my family over there seem to use it, in some ways I find it a little more advanced in Australia.......hush my mouth, did I really say that??

the other way would be a Western Union Money Transfer

I think only Nigerian car buyers use WU
