How does a postal order work?

In the days before internet banking, a postal order was an easy way to send money through the post to a recipient and did not require either party to have a bank account. It was secure as only the person named on the postal order could cash it and if you needed added security it could be crossed and then it could only be paid into a bank account or used to pay a bill at the post office.

What to do about your post when you are moving house?

When you are moving home and changing your address it’s important to think about your post. For many bills now you can have a paper-less option and receive only statements via email or by logging on to your account online, however, this is not always possible. Its handy to keep some regular paper bills to use for proof of ID should you require it.

Should you pay for gift wrapping options?

If you are ordering presents online for a friend or lover one then you may be given the option to have gift wrapping. Depending on what the item is, this may be a paper or material bag, wrapping paper or a gift box. Sometimes this is a free service that the seller will offer but most of the time you will have to pay extra to have an item gift wrapped.
