Do any of you use the Western Union online service for sending money to mexrxonline.com? I was wondering because some people are on a blacklist and have problems receiving western union through the internet when paid by credit card, and I'm just wondering if this is so with mexrxonline.
Thanks.

I have sent them money via WU online with no problem. That was about 3 weeks ago.
I have to say that WU online is an enormous pain in the behind!!. After you go to all the trouble of doing it online you STILL need to speak to somebody on the phone, which is another kind of torture. If it's at all possible I would walk a mile barefoot in the snow to send money from a location, rather than endure the indignity and inconvenience of sending WU online. But that's just me!

Do NOT use WU, especially online. Their fees are outrageous -criminally usurious, in my opinion- and they force you to call their CS 800# and get lectured on sending money to suspicious people. If you go to their agent and watch them rip $20 from some poor Mexican guy trying to send $100 home, it's hard not to think of WU management as prime candidates for capital punishment.
If you go to the US Post Office, you can get a money order, no questions asked, for about $1.00 vs $20+ for WU. Priority mail will get it to MexRx in 2-3 days. If your order is over $100 total, MexRx won't charge you for ground shipping; whether you use WU or not. To them $100 is a $100 and WU is not doing them or you any favors. Assume that it will take a week for delivery. Adding the $30 2-day shipping seems to have no consistent impact on their performance. I wouldn't waste the money, plan ahead when your meds will run out and allow a couple weeks for delivery. If that's beyond your capacity, then you might want to study the movie, DRUGSTORE COWBOY, available on DVD everywhere.

Another nail hit squarely on the head, Plotinus.
I would add though that one might want to ask for an International Money Order. I think they can be cashed more easily than the ordinary kind.

The address to send money order is in the U.S. -- I'm concerned that International Money Order, in addition to being more expensive, might raise more flags if cashed in San Diego area??

IF, and thats a big one, my order comes thru from MexRx, I will never use WU again! I hated giving them the $38 for the transfer and to include my order # with it. I hated calling their 800#, and being informed that I had no recourse if the person I sent the $ to failed to deliver. No kidding, talk about rubbing salt in a open wound. I will us MO next time, IF I am lucky enough to get what I ordered to begin with. Wish me luck.

Sorry, you're right, as usual. I have never sent them anything by mail and I didn't realize the address was domestic. I was imagining them trying to deal with a US Postal Money Order down there in Ciudad Juarez or someplace.
I can't count the number of times I've opted not to order from various IOP's rather than patronize WU. So in general I'll gladly listen to any good means to work around them. Even PAYPAL looks good compared to these crooks!

Why the big IF?? These guys usually deliver, from what I have read. I'm 4 for 4 with them personally. They are slowing down, no question. But don't give up yet!

Not giveing up, just anxious. 1st time using them. After this comes thru, I will be laid back with my next order from them. I would just love to hear from them, but I wont contact them till next week, as I have emailed them too many times already!

I only needed to call WU's number the 1st time I ordered from them, and used WU to pay. After that, I never had to call WU again, and I have ordered several times. Actually, I think next time I will go the money order route, WU is very expensive. As far as delivery time, I would AVERAGE it to a week. I've ordered at least 6 times from them, and the average time from order to doorstep for me anyway is about a week. I've had orders show up in a couple of days, one order took a little over a week to get, but I have always got my order. I've had problems 2 times with my orders....but they made up for it BOTH times, actually, way more than made up for it, they resent my entire order both times!!! Never even asked me to ship what I got back. They have some problems....I think just a smaller outfit bombarded with orders...but I do like this place.
