I had an Aussie buddy buy a rear brake rebuild kit for my new 323i project. No US supplier and was about $125 to buy direct by me vs $50 bought locally and shipped to me. Can someone suggest the best way to send money to Australia electronically . Bunch of sites, all over the map wrt conversion rate and fees.

Best deal of all.
Great rates, low fees and insanely fast.
Sent the money to Portugal for the house and saved $9,000 compared to wire with Wells Fargo
It’s not the fee for the transaction that counts it’s the conversion rate that they charge you up to 3%

+1 for Wise! Best rates and constantly updating, not a general rate based on whatever it has been lately.Wise

....also using Wise.
Sending money by PayPal you should be cautious. Use friends&family only if you are sure that you can trust the recipient, no way to get the money back if you don't receive the goods.
Instead offer to pay the rate for extra coverage (~2%).

Thanks all. I was leaning towards Wise to start with so will go with them.
