Beware of bank transfers!
I wired 2135 US$ to Microwarehouse (http://www.mwhse.com) from Canada for
a Computer purchase in early December 2000. My bank claims the money was
sent; Microwarehouse claim the money has not arrived. Chances are I won't
ever see it again.
Many companies accept "international" (non-US) credit cards. They will
require an additional fax with a payment authorization and your signature.
