just thought i'd post up and ask..
i need to send money to Sweden, as I am getting my auntie to buy my plane ticket from over there, since its way cheaper.
I'm trying to find an easy way that I can send the funds to her.
My boss reckons Western Union..
Can anyone recommend any other easy ways I may be able to do this?
Would I be able to goto the bank and tell them I want to deposit money into her account? or does she need some special sort of account for that ?
I have near no experience on this sort of thing..
any advice is welcomed.

4 something like 27 dollar your bank should be able to transfer it electronically if oyu ahve her bank details
or if that fails maybe try paypal
just make sure you list it as non auction payment and not cash transfer as they slug you more then
western unions got no garuntees of it gettign there or of refunds by memory and since you cant insure $ in post you cant claim that way either usign aussie post registered mail
research the options as it is a web of deceit and shyte

I tried to western union 650 USD the other day and the charge was $80 AUD  , I ended up using paypal which was 27 USD.
If your auntie is buying you a plane ticket, what would stop her using your credit card?

When you're transferring over a thousand dollars does $80 really matter?
