A couple of hundred dollars in fees? > >Craig Dude! A "couple hundred bucks" is nothing in wire fees. I send to the weirdest places in the world (both for COCONUT and in connection with other everyday business every week) ..... some banks still take out *A PERCENTAGE* of money wired. Unbelievable. My bank is super duper and I pay almost nothing (particularly when sending to somewhere 'normal'), but if something screws up along the way they have to pay and hence I have to pay. I wont say where this particular wire was going for customer privacy, but sure, wires to weird corners of the world can cost bucks! For sure! Again, its weird, I've never known a bank to *not accept* funds from their correspoendent bank <: I've known them to say "steal" the funds, but not refuse to take them <; Moral of story .... shit can happen when sending money to unusual places. And, I'm extremely familar w/ sending wires, and my bank is "the place" to send wires to and from. (Compare the kind post here from a KOKONUT KUSTOMER who got a wire *same day*) Sending a wire to Nth America is as different from sending to somewhere exotic, as McDonalds is different from eating grubs in papua new guinea :O ADVERTISEMENT: Remember!
