Since western union is banning all customers who send offshore for the past 8 months or so.
I really haven't used WU much in recent years, if at all, but I did try to send a WU transfer via internet and kept getting an error message and to contact customer service. I called customer service (getting to speak to somebody was an ordeal) and they blamed the CC Company, so I called the CC Company and they said they don't see any attempted purchase being declined.
I said fuck it, just wasted 30 or so minutes would this shit usually takes 90 seconds by going another route. Don't even know why I bothered.
I haven't gone to a Western Union office in maybe 15 years. Used to hate that process.
Then Fire.pay and Net.teller came along, and I was loving it. Easy to send, and 20 minutes to receive payouts with funds deposited into an ATM card where I could access 1K per day.
I can't believe how much this system has deteriorated for us over the years
