>At my commercial bank, a wire transfer cost about $45 for each transfer.
I had to do this last year. My bank was making a big deal about it and wanted a high fee. After some digging around on the web I found the best rate was to make a wire transfer to an Italian post office via WalMart (yes that WalMart). The money was available in only a couple of hours. While the bank was stressed by the request, the folks at WalMart's customer service counter looked like they do this all day long. Had better hours too. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
