KrisFlyZ 0 #1 June 23, 2006 No, I don't need gear from you . I purchased some gear from a manufacturer in the USA and paid with a wire transfer. Due to some screw up by the bank, an extra 20 USD was charged along the way. The manufacturer has shipped the gear and I want to get the money bit sorted without paying a 100 dollars in transfer fees for a 20 dollar transfer. I live in the U.K and can send you postal orders or deposit the money into your bank account. Please Help. Kris. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skreamer 1 #2 June 23, 2006 You can get US$20 from your local post office or bank. Post it to the manufacturer. Job done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GravityGirl 0 #8 June 25, 2006 I know that when I receive an incoming wire from another country, my bank charges me $15 - $20 dollars. Is that what happened? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KrisFlyZ 0 #9 June 25, 2006 The fee was included in the amount I specified to be transferred. Looks like the amount was routed thru two banks in the US and an extra fee got charged. Kris. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GravityGirl 0 #10 June 25, 2006 Yup. It's official. The banks are making all of the money. Generally with a wire transfer ANY bank that touches it, yours, the sellers and anything inbetween gets to charge a fee. Almost every payment I receive comes up about $20 dollars short. Then on top of that my bank hits me for $15. But it's better than credit card fees on large dollar amounts. Hope you work it all out. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
