Some countries like U.K and Norway charge criminal fees to cash them.......

In the UK there is always a fee for foreign checks. Banks average £8-£15 and even the online service I use costs £2 plus the use of a postage stamp.
Really don't think it would be worthwhile for the UK.

I have done some research and it appears that you can cash USD checks in foreign countries. (I usually send to London or New Zealand)

Does this usually work for others? I've noticed some people have posted about how they send checks.

Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions/information. :D {up}
Hm... That's something I never really thought about.

I suppose it's possible, but there seems to be no solid consensus as to whether or not banks will honor foreign personal checks.

Neither of those countries (England/New Zealand) are on the list of 29 countries that will accept USPS Money Orders (per the list on the USPS website), so I'd be hesitant to say that personal checks (which require more hoops to cash) will be accepted without a problem.

Honestly, I think you're better off getting stamps or sending currency than you'd be sending a personal check.
I agree, I think that you would be better off just putting $4 in with your request.
