Money transfer to Pakistan from Abroad

Money transfer to Pakistan from Abroad

Don't know if there has been a simular topic here before.

Recently I ordered some cloths from someone here and as I am sure that I will now be ordering more in future IA for myself and my daugthers I need to have some cheaper method of transfering money to pakistan other than Western Union or MoneyGramm, they charge too much as I will be not be ordering in large bulks eachtime I think it will cost a lot each time I make a transer and I would rather give that money to the designer who is doing all the work or getter fabric as to some international money service.

So what other reliable, safe, money transfer service is there ?

I think banking transit is also cheap but I dont know if the home based designers use this method ?

I would like to hear from shk, prototype or others here who can name some alternatives.

And can I open an account in a bank in Pakistan that I can operate online from here?

Thanks
