Western Union...I got to the paternal/maternal name of recipient and was lost. I googled which goes first and found conflicting information. Netspend (pre-paid card you can pick up just about anywhere)... a bit of a PIA but may be how I end up paying. I hope it all goes well however I end up sending payment.

It will be an adventure if I can just get the money to them and they actually send me the device!
I am confused about the whole payment thing. The Netspend cards require a start up fee of 9.95 and I think each time you use it, there is a charge. Also it can take up to 10 business days before you receive the card. From what I can tell it is not a one time use type of thing and and it can incur monthly fees. I don't feel too good about it. This adds to the cost of ordering. I wish this could be paid via Paypal.
