Bank drafts will be sent to your billing address as specified by you during the account registration process using regular worldwide mail. Please make sure that the specified billing address is correct to avoid any delays. If this address has changed, please contact our Customer Service department at [email protected]. Please allow up to three weeks for delivery due to delays in the mail service. There are no charges imposed on bank draft withdrawals.
