the exchange rate will be better in netherlands. your friend will have no problem in taking the $ and convert it to euro in a bank or a money exchanger bureau.
Why should it costs money to accept a parcel you send. As long as you have payed the stamps it coasts nothing to accept a parcel from the us. You can't pay with dollars in the Netherlands, we use euro. But you can change dollars in the Netherlands. If I want to change money I mostly use one of the exchange offices you can find at the bigger train stations. But it shouldn't be necesarry to send money if you already payed to send the parcel. http://www.gwktravelex.nl/NL/vestigingen...
