Well, here's a good story about my first time sending $$$ western union. I was thinking the best place to ship WU would be in the Ghetto somewhere, where people don't give a fuck. Well, I did so and was in for alittle experience. When I asked the lady to WU the $$$ she began calling over, one by one, about 12 co-workers, all who did not know how to use it. They began asking questions, who it was to, where. You should have seen the expressions on thier faces when I told them the country. The nosey fuckers actually asked me:"who the heck do you know there?"..By this time I was really getting fumed. They told me to go up the street to a different store cause nobody knew how to use it. The next store knew how to send it, but asked for my I.D after I filled out the form...I told the laady I'd be "right back" cause I left my ID in the car....On to the next store. The lady who finally sent it was cool. She didn't ask for ID. She did say the country name outloud, as to ask me what the hell it was going there for, but I simply smiled and said "yep" IP: Logged |

The mail works good. I sent mine out last thursday and it got to the dude by noon on friday. I just got the stuff today...only because the mailroom at my school is piss poor and slow. Don't think I can wait any longer to shoot up... IP: Logged |

WOW ITS A MIRACLE YOU DIDNT GET MUGGED AT THE FIRST STORE. BUT THEN YOURE PROBABLY NOT A SMALL TARGET EITHER! WESTERN UNION IS TOO DAMN EXPENSIVE IT COST ABOUT 15 DOLLARS FOR EVERY HUNDRED. TRY REG MAIL OR FED EXPRESS INSTEAD AND THEY DONT BADGER YOU. IF IT WAS ME I WOUKD HAVE BEEN THINKING ALL ALONG THAT THE NEXT STEP A PATROL CAR WOULD PICK ME UP AND INTERROGATE ME AND WHO KNOWS WHAT THEY MAY DO WITH THEIR ALMIGHTY NIGHT STICKS. WHEEW NOW IM SWEATIN!!! BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME. IP: Logged |

Bro, that's the one place where I actually experienced what the Media considers a "roid rage", the motherfuckers were so damn noisy, rude, and ignorant; it took about 3 clerks to type the damn info in..I actually called the guy a stupid motherfucker, and threw the bag of rice I was purchasing at him..then stormed out! It was a sight to see! IP: Logged |

MAYBE YES BUT YOU WOULD STILL HAVE TO PAY HIGH PRICES TO DELIVER MONEY. NOT IF YOU ARE GETTING IT THOUGH, UNLESS YOU ARE IN SAY MEXICO AND HAVE TO ACCEPT THE MONEY IN PESOS. LAST TIME I LOST LIKE 300 DOLLARS IN THE EXCHANGE. BUT I HAD FUN, AND HAD A BUTT FULL OF HOLES DUDE. I THINK I WROTE MY NAME ON MY BUTTOCKS WITH THE PINS. AAYYYYYYYY. IP: Logged |

You're all missing the point. It's not against the law to send money ! Who cares why you're sending it. ALso, you should giver them your real name, just incase there's a problem on the other end, without the right id you can not get your money back. Just tell the clerks to do their job and not worry about what you're doing. I once had some little old lady 'wonder why' was sending cash to Spain, I looked her right in the eye and told her that I was buying a wife !!! LOL ------------------ BPP IP: Logged |

I use WU Frequently and agree with the correct information part. They ask me no questions and if they did I'd tell them its none of their business. If they ask for ID give it to them. There is really no reason to be parinoid about it. Good Luck IP: Logged |

Give them your real name so that you can get you cash back in case something goes wrong. I go to my local Fred Myers to send money and they never ask questions because they have others waiting to be helped. But then again Im always recieving and not sending. But I think the whole thing is a pain in the ass. I just use usps with delivery confirmation. Cheaper and works well. -Guru IP: Logged |

its not that there is anything wrong with sending money. its just that because you know youre up to something on the gray side there's a certain atmosphere within you that makes you feel like 007-> with the mystery thAT ONLY YOU KNOW AND NOW YOU BEGIN TO THINK THEY MAY BE ACTING SUSPICIOUS, WHich by now you ask yourself is it really worth it? (1... 2...ok times up)(now that thats out of the way) you continue and act as nice as you could, because after all you want this to work and another money post is miles away and you need to get your order in because its late and its wednesday and they should get it by friday you hope. so by acting nice you hope that your kindness will will prevail, (just how much kindness do you have right now?) if only they would just let me send this and stop asking shit. if you didnt know any better you might think they need to build a profile on you???. anyway 10 more days to go and HOOOOOOOWWWEEEEEEE, SWEET TASTE OF HONEY COMING TO ME!!! BUT THEN you see the ups or FED xpress guy at the door and he/she is winking through the keyhole so you think, nothing of it and open the door, the person is rolling their eyes in the way to suggest (hey dickhead look over there(to the left or right) and you look and out the corner of your eyes you see two men in black!) sign it return to sender like BILL PHILLIPS told you to. the pen falls to the floor and so do you your knees clanking like a set of loaded dice, but you manage to right yourself and accept the delivery. you scribble (RETURN TO SENDER ON IT) AND DROP IT TO THE FLOOR NEXT TO THE DOOR, YOU CAN GEAR SOMETHING SHATTER INSIDE IT, BUT HELL I DONT WANT IT. the guy leaves and you get to close the door (package inde your door) abd you wait to be arrested or worse. nothing happens for three days and you decide (having recuperated from your near heart attack) to risk openning it. SURE ENOUGH ITS YOUR GEAR AND HALF OF IT IS A PUDDLE OF MIXED OIL AND WATERY LOOKING STUFF LIKE MILK. FOR THREE DAYS YOU CALLED IN SICK TO WORK CAUSE YOU DIDNT WANT TO LEAVE THE HOUSE AND NOW YOUR GEAR IS WRECKED AND TURNS OUT THAT THE DELIVERY GUY OR GAL JUST HAD DROPS IN HIS/HER EYES THE GUYS YOU SAW IN BLACK WERE THERE FOR ANOTHER REASON AND YOUR SUPPLIER DOESNT PACK THE SHIT RIGHT AND NOW YOU HAVE TO REORDER. WHEEEEEW WHAT A DAY!!! HEY DONT LAUGH IT COULD HAPPEN? IP: Logged |
