Western Union is WAY TOO EXPENSIVE!

[KingOfPain]

I made a small transfer of only $120 and I ended up paying $142! What a rip off!!!! Do they always charge 20% or does it get cheaper with larger orders. Cause if not there is no way i would make an transfer of $1000 and pay $200 to those pricks! There has to be another way to do business!!!! Maybe get some guys to take money oreders to their PO Boxes? anything is better than giving these cocksuckers my money....

If your guy takes it, moneygram is cheaper than wu.

Note: WU offers a "Price it" calculator on the home page (http://www.westernunion.com/homePage.asp) where you can plan the rate.

Fees.

In consideration for the use of the Service, you agree to pay to Western Union a fee for each Money Transfer initiated by you at the applicable rate then in effect (the "transfer fee"). The applicable transfer fee for your transaction will be provided to you prior to your final authorization of the transaction, in addition to any applicable fees for additional services.

Yes WU sucks, They stick it to you everytime and luckily my source now takes other forms of payment.

Yeah I've used it twice so far...I thought it was 15% of total??

I agree entirely, fricking highway robbery!

When you go to a store do you pay the same price you see on
a pricetag? WU fees are just a way to tax black market.You forgot
that death and taxes are unavoidable.
