Obviously there are better solutions.
"Facebook pay?"
"No, cash only."
"Wait, no money order or cashier's check?"
I never heard back, so I guess not.
I almost never use cash, but when I needed it I got it from the register at Walmart, except now the only cashier is in the cigarette line, and that was more effort than I wanted to put into this.
I didn't know how to pay them conveniently. I also didn't know if I would break even and the tires weren't my first choice. Why should I put more effort into buying than they put into selling?
Well, it seems that someone came up with the cash.

Sounds like it is time to switch to a local bank OR - even better - a Credit Union. Most credit unions have agreements with other credit unions. My credit union is only in Oregon but I can bank at my parents credit union in Michigan like it is my own.
To get cash fast I would go to an ATM. Most banks allow you to take out $500 a day.
Or you could use an online only bank like ALLY. They have a nationwide network of ATMs and allow $1,000 a day. They also provide checks like any other bank and will send cashier's check by mail.
(I bank with a credit union and ALLY)
