Might try calling them.
800 239 2389 I delt with Ed VAsquez. if he not available just talk to the person that answers the phone. They take checks. do not know how long they hold them.
I signed an agreement whereby I would arrange the purchase, then FAX the US funds in the form of a check(cheque?) to them. They would then transfer the funds for the next morning. frequently the funds were in a bank in the country of my vendor. 24 hr from invoice to receipt of funds.
my signature would be removed from the check and stapled to the original invoice for our records.
for decent sized transfers, cost was about 0.5% of bank rate + $10. I never could figure out how they made any money.
