Western union for sending money to pak....you don't need a bank account. And post office won't se you nd letters to you. You shouldnt be scared of your inlaws.
i think if i have i go for western union they ll need my passport copy,id card and etc..not sure about it..and problem is i dont have western union in my area :(
well if you don't have a bank account, that is your only option. i've used Western Union before and I don't remember needing to show any ID. it's worth trying. you will get no communication if you tell them they shouldn't contact you.
it's risky to send stuff via PO. they will never send you a letter but they have no proper tracked service to Pakistan and once it reaches Pakistan, the local postal service deliver it and they often 'disappear' the contents or whole package.
is UPS or DHL service to Pakistan reliable? they are both trackable services.. anyone have experience with this?
i sent a package through the US Post office to Pakistan once, and surprisingly it reached in 2 weeks with all it's contents- but I was very nervous about it and probably wouldn't do it again

I have sent parcels to Pak several time through normal post office and there's been never any problem.
I think western union asks for ID card but cannot be sure. Have not used it for a long time now. But they never contact. Money is transferred the same day. You will need the number from the western union receipt. So either copy that number or keep the recipt safely somewhere and discard it as soon as the money is recieved in Pakistan.
UPS and DHL is bit more expensive as compared to PO.
Sometimes if the parcel is not delivered, it comes back if you have asked for it to be returned if not deliverable. Ask the PO if they do that and tell them not to contact you or do not put your name and address as sender on the parcel.
I live in basingstoke.Here we dont have western union(i guess not sure).I just dont want to give moka to my inlaws as i have a S.I.L in pak and they ll say u never send gifts to her..dhl is lil xpensive.I have to give my name n adress as sender to post office its a must..thanx 2 all of u for replying..Whats process of western union?
Parcel is probably your best way to go. Just find out what you can and cannot put in the parcel and make sure you follow it so theres no issues about returning. Since you'll be doing it in person there wont any worry about receiving a receipt later.
If you can get to a western union, use that. They will not contact unless your money hasn't been picked up for a long time. Do you have a personal mobile number or email address that you can give them?
You do need ID to send with western union. You just go to the counter and tell them where you want to send the money and how much. You need to provide them with the name of the person you're sending it to.
They give you a number which you need to give to whoever you're sending it to back in Pakistan.
Then in Pakistan your relative will go to a western union with their ID card to show their name AND the number you gave them. Thats it.
Check if you have dollar east office nearby. The first time you are sending money they will ask for a copy of your passport and will keep your details for future transactions. The reason I would recommend them is that in Pakistan money could be collected from any UBL branch which is easily accessible almost everywhere.
I don't have good experience with parcels. Still waiting for one to be delivered which was sent more than an year back.
I dont have an account in any bank..I will try to send through post office..hope it reaches on time ..will also find out about western union in my area..thanx guys :)
