Or can you ask for a crossed cheque and cash that at a bank?

Postal orders are the best way, altho the purchaser pays extra for that priveledge. Gone are the days when you could go into a bank with a cheque, and get cash.

No - firstly because it costs the sender additional money to send + it will cost you a small fee to cash them in at the post office.
Furthermore, if you are not too close to a PO it again may vost for you to venture down. The best way is to have it posted via Special Delivery or Registered Delivery by Royal Mail - this will gurantee a next day delivery ( not on a Sunday ) by 12.30pm.
The fact that you have to sign for it is an added safety factor - if the Postal Orders are just sent through normal post they may go missing.

You can't cash a crossed cheque (or crossed postal order) -- it has to be paid into YOUR account and if you don't have one you have to open one!
An uncrossed postal order is OK.

Actual cash (notes only) can be sent securely via Royal Mail special delivery - insurance is included in the price. The recipient has to be available to sign for the package on delivery. I did this recently and it worked fine.

You have to have a bank account to cash a crossed PO

If you mean sending money through regular mail thats insane. You NEVER send cash, if you have to mail money use a check written directly to the person receiving it. That way if it gets opened no one can steal it and if it gets lost in the mail you aren't out of anything.
