    Western Union and Source

    My source told me last monday that my gear was in stock. I sent money through western union on tuesday. Now it's almost a week later and he hasn't even read his emails, let alone picked up the money or sent my package. This is unusual cuz he usually doesn't take more than a day to get back to me.

    If he doesn't get back to me by tuesday I'm wondering if I should just try to get my money back through western union and cancel my order. At this point I'd rather do that. Can I pick up money from western union with just my receipt?

    Thanks

    It's not Pizza delivery bro, some sources get backed up or have things to do, give it some time. Especially if they were out of stock; they got to send to those that were ahead of you first.

    There was times I would wait for 2 months then get my gear.

    yes you should be able to get your funds back with a receipt, as longs as the funds have not been taken.

    Yea, it's just I was told everything was in stock and ready to go. He hasn't checked his email in a week!!!

    So, do you guys know if I need to show ID to collect funds or is the receipt enough?

    I'm gonna give him a couple more days because he has been very helpful and polite. Maybe he took a vacation or something... who knows?

    ^Exactly that. Be patient. You are lucky enough to be getting anything. If you are in a rush, and become careless, you will be setting yourself up for failure in the future. Relax, and take a chill pill

    what state are you in?? in minnesota all the western union's (sending cash) are in banks now, no id.. no cash..

    I'm sure that's what is required to pick it up.. what's the problem anyway?..

    next time get a buddy to send the cash using his id.. make sure you know where he lives and he's afraid of you though..

    Yes you can goto W/U and get your money back, as long as you did not send it under a fake name, which you probably did. They WILL ask you for I.D when you try to get your money back!

    I had a source where I sent my money WU, then before I got a response, it was about 1week and a half, I was stressing, but ass i've been told, it's not pizza delivery. I got all paranoid and wanted my money back and I even started a little fuss, That was the wrong thing for me to do. I lost out on that source had to create a new email and go that way.

    After I made the new email, I learn to be patient and it will come.

    Sure enough, it was the best stuff I ever got my mitts on. Be patient for another couple days bro, if anything try sending another email.

    I would give it some more time. The guy probably has a real job and does this on the side. He might have a family and other obligations. A week is not very long in this world. If you said month, you would then have my attention.

    I wouldn't start to sweat it just yet. My source takes things slow. Once my order is submitted and my money is sent, he'll let the money sit there for a week. Once he gets the money, he waits a week to ship out the package(s), etc. These guys have to be careful! Seasoned pros in the business will take their time. They know what they are doing.

    I had similar issues.........with the same source as mentioned above. Sometimes my orders have not been processed until 4-6 weeks after money had been sent & picked up.....sometimes my orders have shipped seperately and have taken 6 weeks.

    Hang tight.....im sure it will be worked out. Next time use a different source.

    If youve used this source before and hes always responded quickly just get your money back and use another source, somethings wrong imo.
