Do not use Western Union to send a wire transfer to your bank. They will not tell you the cash OUT OF YOUR POCKET will not be deposited into your account FOR THREE BUSINESS DAYS! I could have over-nighted the money for much less. I could have mailed the money for the price of a stamp! They charged me $18 for the privilidge of holding my money for three days before they sent it to my bank. The worse thing is: this is their policy. It was not a mistake!
They hold ALL direct to bank transfers for a minimum of three days. On my stupidest day I would not pay them $18 to hold money out of my pocket for three days. I gave them this money for IMMEDIATE TRANSFER! They refused to refund my money or void the transaction. They said once it is "in the system" it has to sit for three days then they transfer it to my bank. Sweet Bay is partner to this because it was their uninformed employees who transacted the "service." I will not use Sweet Bay or Western Union again.
