Dear List members,
 In Morocco, here is no Paypal as it is not allowed to get the currency out of country, we can buy online or send money out of country, but if you have a company and want to import something, you need to provide papers and if you have a son studying in canada, USA or europe, you have a limite to send him monthly, about $500-$600.
 We have 3 payment methodes :
Western Union ; the most expensive,

MoneyGram : cheap way, available in Post offices in US, Canada and UK.

Bank Transfer : is the best even it takes 3-7 days, the bank take from the money their commission and when changing currencies ( ex : they get $1000 from your transaction for 7.65 MAD and sell it to Bank Almaghreb for 7.68) that means they do not buy the devise from you the same value in the market.

Better you get back your check and then make the payment using one of the 3 ways.

Shipping Methodes ;
 Chronopost ; the worst in the world
 Fedex : excellent, they even offer discounts and they have options
 Parcel post : excellent, cheap but takes a while, guaranteed, I was told that Fedex delivers their packages.
 DHL : excellent, I just hate the girl works there .
 EMS : Never worked with
 Airfreight ; large countities 100kg-up $520 for 100kg.

GREG"S "CAREFULLY" AREN'T SENDING MONEY TO MOROCCO NOWADAYS? AREN'T YOU GETTING SHIPMENTS? LET OTHERS DO IT AND DO NOT BE SELFISH

One last thing, I don't understand how the moroccan did not know about all the payments methodes since he is selling meteorites, even beginners know western union.

My best
Aziz Alhyane
