Message: Hi Ms. Burch, I am writing from the Marshall Islands in the Pacific. I have been trying to purchase dye supplies online. I have able to follow the links to the suppliers. However, due to the mode of payment which requires credit card and similar payments, I could not able to place order on-line. Please could you advice me on any possible supplier that could accept Cashier's Check since this is the form of payment that is readily available and is in use in our country. I really learn a lot from the techniques and methods for dye in your website.

Most companies that will ship internationally will accept checks, or, if not, will accept wire transfers, but the order cannot be sent until after the check is received by mail, after the order has been placed. You can place your order by phone if the website does not allow methods of payment other than credit cards.

Dharma Trading Company will ship any of their products to the Marshall Islands, and they will accept a wire transfer as payment. 

PRO Chemical & Dye will ship their products internationally, and they will accept a check that is mailed to them; you should contact them and ask them for more details.

Contact information for these and other dye suppliers may be found on my page, "Sources for Dyeing Supplies Around the World". You may also wish to consider suppliers in Australia, though their prices tend to be higher than those at the US companies.

You may want to order by phone and specify a slower and less expensive form of shipping than the those indicated in the order forms on your dye supplier's web site. They tend to list only those forms of shipping that, while very fast, for international orders will end up costing more than the cost of your order. Ask about what forms of Economy shipping may be available.
[Note to readers: as a rule, please be very cautious when accepting a cashier's check, because there have been many cases in which a cashier's check has turned out to be a forgery, leaving the small business owner responsible for repaying the entire value of the check to their bank, after the check had apparently already cleared. A check may clear your bank before the bank has determined whether or not it is fraudulant. Obtaining the money by wire transfer is evidently safer. Here is a link to an article on "Money Order Fraud", which you should see for more information.]

(Please help support this web site. Thank you.)
