Thanks. Reassuring to know

Hi. I had a small parcel sent from the uk (royal mail) to here. Has anyone experienced the extend of delays for small parcels currently? I've been waiting for 3 weeks for something that should take 8 business days. Has anyone had the same experience? I'm a bit concerned as it was not sent "signed for" Cheers Patrick

Yeah worth using then for sure. And if the difference between 2 forex companies is that significant imagine how much less you get with a bank.

Thanks Marisa. I had misinterpreted your first message, I realise now it was sound advice. I'll use a moneycorp or the likes. Cheers

Thanks everyone for your replies. There's a lot more variables than I thought there might be.. I will start comparing.

In the same way that 99% of the questions asked on the forum could be answered by going out and doing the research yourself. I had a specific question on the approx % variance between the 2 methods of transfer. I understand if you can't provide any answers, but would appreciate it if someone else can share any insights. Cheers Pat

Thanks for response M. I get that they are a legitimate company and all the noise around what good experiences people have with them. I'm interested in the actual difference in money transferred. If it's 0.5% then I won't bother, for example. Has anyone done a comparison with bank rates? Cheers

Hi. I has an account on here years ago to get help for my PR. I got locked out of my email one day, hence I can't recover the password.. Planning to transfer around £35k to Australia. I know generally people advise not to use banks and to use a moneycorp.. etc. It's quite hard to see the hidden costs. Does anyone know what the actual damage would be in dollar value (roughly) for using the bank rather than a moneycorp.? Thanks in advance Pat
