sending money

[tabta 0]

I know this may sound odd but does any one know how to send money from another country. Someone in Mexico is trying to send me money and we can not find a service that sends to the US only ones that allow you to recieve money.

Depending on the amount of money...

Few choices

• Western Union
• Moneygram
• xoom (www.xoom.com)

Moneygram says you can... http://www.moneygram.com/MGI/EN/MX/Send/Se...CC=MX&LC=EN I could be wrong though...

Yeah I know. So i sent them to 2 different moneygram locations from the website and they said they would not accept sending just recieving

Yes I have seen the same thing with moneygram, they only recieve, not send in Bangladesh as well. Is there any way they can wire it directly from their bank account to your bank account? Try and see if that works. They could also try and put it in a debit card for you, or send a cashier's check?

Thanks for your input. I will be going to mexico in 12 days so I think I am just going to have to wait it out. I have checked with my bank and in order to do an international money wire or accept one it takes several days and I have to meet with the boss and everytihng. Too much hassel

Try Western Union or Moneygram.

International wire transfer through a bank is the most reliable way to go in my opinion

Well, not sure if it works in Mexico (but I don't see why not).

I usually use Paypal to transfer money internationally.

Ahh I've run into that problem before in Vietnam, which is even more risky restrictive country. The key is that they don't allow sending AT THAT LOCATION. That dosn't mean there aren't any locations in Mexico you can send from, just that the location you chose isn't authorized to. Western union trust every little mom and pop shop to hand out cash and be reimbursed later plus a fee, but it dosn't trust them to receive cash and report it. You just need to find a big bank that does MG or WU transfers. Maybe even the bank headquarters. I had to try a few large banks before one of them directed me to their headquarters where they were able to do a send.

I'd recommend Paypal - I use it to send money between my Canadian and American bank accounts.

You just need to make sure you already have a bank account to use it, because they make a small deposit to authorize the account.

i received mony from peru through a wire transfer.... i think it is the safest. took 3 to 5 days and fees at both ends applied.

About the guy that said paypal.... it doesnt work worldwide..... i had it in my option list and didnt applied for me.
