    JSB's from EU Using Transferwise

    Hi All,
    I want to buy some JSB pellets from the EU and wanted to know whether others have used Transferwise to do so or whether PAYPAL is a more trustworthy alternative.

    If you've used Transferwise did you send it direct from your bank or via email?

    + 1 For Transferwise as others have said,it only costs around £1 as per Your banks £25!!
    Having said that I accidentally sent out 2 extra payments in £s and Olga only accepts payment in Euros.
    H.T.H
    P.S All overpayments have been refunded so no worries there!!

    I used Transferwise to buy a rifle from Czech republic. I saved a fortune.

    Likewise, i used Transferwise for the first time recently [not shooting related items]. They estimated the amount in GBP needed to convert to Euro and when the transaction went through it was less than quoted. Difference was quickly refunded. Fee was £1 .40 for 320 euro transfer. Very easy to use and a lot cheaper than bank transfer. Good communication throughout the whole process.
