Re: Sending money to Pakistan
Western Union is expensive only if you use website or phone ..
Go to your local Rite Aid Pharmacy and use thier Counter Service .. Its damn cheap
Service charges are same for Phone , website and Counter yokes .... And I don’t think in India ya got paid in Dollars ... did Ya ?
SO they offer you their own currency transfer rate , more or less same as Inter bank rate , which is bit less then Open market rate and that’s how they make and you lose money ...
Lets say if ya are losing 2 rupees on a dollar /pound .. for a 1,000 bucks transactions it becomes couple of Grand …
I better donate this money to a charity rather then throwing it in Wu’s account ..
