can someone tell me about Xoom? i've been using Western Union for almost 3 years now... i dunno but its fast and easy to get.. but the thing is, the charge is high (as what i've heard).

I need some tips or can someone give me another money transfer provider which has more cheaper charges? I only have China Bank account here but it seems its not working when it comes to money transfer coz the bank of my husband doesn't recognized my bank...

ok now im pissed w/ the email i just got... that stated

Certain restrictions in Colorado prevent us from offering our service to residents of this state. We apologize for any inconvenience you may have been caused and appreciate your patience and understanding. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.

Best Regards,

Xoom Customer Service

meaning they dont do this kind of service in colorado? does anybody experienced this kind especially to those who resides in Co.? i sent the money thru my mom's bank account BDO... this gets me confused... i call customer service and 30 mins later, i was still on hold and im forced to hung up coz we're late for our other appointment. xoom sounds good and cheaper but im not sure what their deals are. lol... God bless

Hi there,Xoom is very convenient and they charge cheaper than the WU i had bad experience claiming money deposited to my bank account but i still recommend Xoom over WU..you must have to have 2 valid id's,and it's accredited with BDO,forex and cebuana but cebuana cant release USD...or your hubby can deposit it directly to your account....

"Our Wedding Prayer"

Lord,help us to remember when we first met,and the strong love that grew between us.

To work the love into practical things so nothing can divide us

Grant us a Love that grows stronger with each passing year.

We ask for words both kind and loving

and for hearts always ready to ask forgiveness as well as to forgive.

Guide us to overcome every challenge

and keep our dreams pure to each other always.

Dear Lord,we put our marriage into Your hands.Amen

If your heart acquires strength, you will be able to remove blemishes from others without thinking evil of them.

I can't claim the money that my hubby sent to me...

they said the local bank of xoom here in PI has a problem and I was told that it might a week before I can claim my money... like, #######????

I tried BDO, Cebuana, all of them can't give me my money.

Everytime they are checking my Code, it says no transaction, where in fact, xoom sent an email my hubby said its ready for pick-up!

Been using money gram for years and never had a problem. It's cheaper than any other money transfer and will be received im minutes .It is just like western union only cheaper.You can claim it at the bank or any cebuana lhullier pawnshops at any day.Try money gram..it won't do you any harm.

Once again, the ONLY delay my fiance and I faced was with the very FIRST transaction to clear my checking. I'm now on my 4th one, as of yesterday. These last three were instantaneous, with her able to withdraw on her end before it cleared MY account.

Since it was pointed out in this thread {IIRC}, I checked the excange rate on XE.COM prior to the latest Xoom transaction. They shorted me about P300, vs what the exhange said it SHOULD be, plus the $6.99 fee. Still, not too bad based on what I'm reading. And the sureness and immediateness of it is GREAT.

I am assuming that problems, when there are some, are isolated.

Moving on w/life

I finally got to hold of them and they said they don't serve Colorado just yet. Funny because when I registered my address is already Colorado! What's the point of accepting me then and sending junk mails. Disappointed
