They suck anyway when the rate changes and you end up with less money than you
agreed upon!

Personally I'd just put it in an envelope and mail it, obviously this isn't a
good strategy if you do it regularly or with larger sums. But for the
occasional transaction it is possibly the easiest.
There was some similar debate a while back:

Which is probably more useful if it's something that you do a lot of.
Alternatively I think some people offer factoring services - ie send them a UK
cheque, and they'll send off a US one of the same value on your behalf. I've
never done this though, so I could be wrong!
