    Where's the best place to purchase US-cashable money orders/drafts in Hong Kong

    I'm tired of paying HSBC HK$80 for a bank draft. I'd like to be able to buy things from the US without incurring too much of a charge when I go the money order/bank draft route. Anyone know where I can get them cheaper?

    Isn't this what credit cards are for?

    Some US-based businesses and universities will not accept credit cards. They insist upon money orders, which are cheaply and easily available in North America, but cost me $80 here. :|
