It is never 100% garanteed when you send it by mail. Not only in TB but all over,it is never a good thing, especially with Christmas just around the corner.Some sticky fingered person might just claim it for themself or it might just get lost in the mail.You are better off sending it via Western Union.

The "post"I guess you're talking the post-office.Take it to the post office unsealed.
ask to register and insure it,then seal it.
Keep all your receipt's/paperwork
If it get lost you are not responsible.
The post-office will be.

If the person you are sending money to has a registered bank account, you can deposit money into the registered account as well. This is something I have done many times which is safe because you have the stamped teller receipts from your end, and the service charges are relatively low (about the same as Western Union). It usually takes 2-4 business days.

Wenster Union is the best.Same day you can pick up your money and the fee is much less than the banks. Just have some type of Indentification to show and make sure you know the right name of the sender and address in case they ask. It is also good to know how much money is being sent to you also.

To reardonone, where in TB can you pick up Western Union money?

The only place close to TB for pick-up is Southfield or Black River.

I wish there was a place in TB, that would be very helpfull.
