do you realise what the purpose of western union money sending services are for??
they are designed for you to send money to countries where the recipient doesnt have access to modern banking facilities.
ie most third world countries and some areas of 2nd world countries and some embargoed countries.
it has no place in modern westernised countries for legally sending money as it has been superceeded by the ability to transfer money safely and quickly for free between normal banking accounts.
In westernised countries even poor people or criminals can get access to a basic account with the facility to recieve direct transfers.
so why the fuck would you send money via western union???
These days it is universally known for scams and as a method of laundering money.
The kind of people abroad who are selling items internationally will have a legitimate bank account that can recieve direct transfers.
so why send by western union??
no reason i can see especially if you are talking about modern goods or car parts etc.
