I saw some Warda Lawn prints recently with ribbon work on the damun. I think the trend will stay for a while. ![]()
No..no..noā¦I didnāt mean I donāt trust her.Good heavens,no.
Itās just easier transferring money this way.Mr CO refuses to use WU,'cos their charges are highā¦thatās all.And, I really donāt want to ask rellies in Pakistan to pay 'cos they will ask 101 questions.
re: Some of my work-Kapray Shapray on FB
CO.. you know they are about the same. Only with WU you have to pay the fees upfront. With Paypal the recipient has to pay the fees and I would think most sellers would end up putting up their prices a bit to account for this.. especially if their profit margin is already small.

Whatās the price you have to pay for a parcel to Holland?? Sorry guys I donāt know abt this coz Iāve never ordered clothes from Pakistanā¦
Iād like to have this suit in grey with pink ribbon embroideryā¦
Dāohā¦didnāt know thatā¦cheers.Right,will investigate further.Seems like Mr CO does not wish me to buy more clothes:naraz:.
It is a fabulous outfitā¦Ghar main pahen kar ghoom lenaā¦Iām sure Mr farrah will appreciate it;)
I once bought a pair of divine stilettos which I have never worn out.Just totter around the house in them now and again:)
re: Some of my work-Kapray Shapray on FB
Donāt know if this will help you CharmedOne, and othersā¦but I use UBL (United Bank) Remit onlineā¦You can create an account with this Pakistan-based bank just for transfers. In other words, you can link your online UBL account with your US or UK or whatever account, and then initiate transfers through UBL. They can transfer directly to another UBL account, or courier a check for you. You can either do the transfer from a credit card, or a bank accountā¦there is no fee if you transfer from a bank account if you do at least $300 US at a time, and there is a percentage-of-transaction fee if you use a credit card.
I just did this for an order placed with prototype and she got the check within a week or so. Iāve used it a couple of times to send money for clothes to family/friends as well over the past few years, with no issues, alhamdulilah. I donāt think I can post a link here yet, but just google UBL Remit and the link should come up.
Just to be on the safe sideā¦since it is an actual transfer out of my account, I keep a seperate checking account for this kind of stuff just in case of any fraud, etc., so our main account could never be emptied, Allah na karey, but you never knowā¦
re: Some of my work-Kapray Shapray on FB
^You can only use Click and Remit if you have a U.S. bank account. This is the same with PakRemit.
The only option UK buyers have is Western Union.
Paypal doesnāt exist in Pakistan either, so itās not the fault of the sellers that they canāt offer it.
From their FAQ:
32. Since I am residing outside USA, I do not have an account with any bank in USA, can I remit?
No! You can not remit from outside USA unless you have an account in any bank in USA. Presently the product does not support transactions from an account outside USA. However, we are planning to launch this product for the remitters from across the globe. Once the product is launched across the globe, you will know about it through our website and the media.
re: Some of my work-Kapray Shapray on FB
^ same here stoppit, I would like to use such services as Remit but I guess its only for US.
I will try sending a transaction to Lahore but I need a SWIFT for a branch, do you think I should call there and they will give it to me.
re: Some of my work-Kapray Shapray on FB
Hi Saadia,
You need the exact SWIFT code for the branch where the seller has their bank account. They should tell you what it is if you call them up - I have done it before. The seller should also be able to provide you with all these details along with branch address where they have their account.
re: Some of my work-Kapray Shapray on FB
Thanks stoppit,
I will call them up tomorrow, I know the other details, only the swift code was missing.
BTW an IBAN is really needed, coz sometimes it work fine without it, just using the account number instead.
re: Some of my work-Kapray Shapray on FB
charmed one: stoppit is right. paypal doesnt operate here in pakistan. they dont even have pakistan listed on their website. :bummer:
iksa: shipping to holland via pakistan post is 1400rs for first kg and 300rs for every extra kg via pakistan post excluding 16% taxes and 200rs for sealing and packing. http://www.pakpost.gov.pk/expresspost/isp.html
saadia b : so it didnt work ? I will call my bank and ask about IBAN and SWIFT code tomorrow IA and let you know.
Thanx for all your info. and help everyone:)ā¦the only way we send money to pakistan is through money changersā¦so Iāll see if I can get a cousin or someone willing to pay on my behalf and then I can send them the money.Think thatās the only way round.
Mr CO reckons itās something to do with money laundering.You know you have to be uber careful when doing transactionsā¦lord,all I want is a āprotoā original ![]()
Thanks.
lol. ok
are you in UK ?
Yesā¦how did you guess??![]()
Thanks for catching that stoppitā¦I could have sworn that a friend of mine used it in the UK, but itās likely she has a US account as well since her parents live hereā¦Sorry if I got anyoneās hopes up ![]()
