Hello,

A customer in Croatia needs to pay for some merchandise.

He tells me that Visa & Mastercard issued in Croatia won't work outside of Croatia.
(!)
He says that due to UN restrictions on Croatian banks, a wire transfer can take two
months.
He wants to send me cash via registered mail, which makes me nervous, because he owes
me several hundred dollars.
I asked him if it is possible to buy an international money order from his post
office, but he hasn't answered me.

Does anyone know what is the best/fastest way to get money from Croatia to the United States?

Any help would be much appreciated!

because that's credit card for him and
money order for you.

or postal money order from him,
which will take about 2-3 weeks to get here,

also, they have western union,
I think, check first,
bu western union is safe for you,
he can go to the office, give them money,
(he'll need your name, city and state)
and you have money here within 12 hours.

good luck.
Regards
Laiki

Laiki,

thanks for your help.

Bidpay won't work because he can't use his credit card outside of Croatia.

I am going to ask him to do a wire transfer from his bank to mine ~ my bank says it will work and only takes about 48 hours.

thanks!

i had a buyer from Bosnia,
he used Western Union to pay,
worked in 7-8 hours.

Laiki & Stanleymu,

Thank you so much for your help!
I just checked into Western Union - it is indeed available in Croatia, and at multiple locations. Very convenient.

I have emailed my buyer, and given him the option to do a wire transfer or pay with Western Union. We'll see what happens ~~

Thanks a million! I never would have thought of Western Union ~

all best,
Denise
