I transferred $25K via wire transfer on 1Feb 2008 and that money in INR is still not credited in my acct. Wire Transfer is supposed to be the fastest mode of transaction (offcourse apart from Western Union which transfers money within half an hour but then charges are high)
I was going for better conversion rate and good reputation of timesofmoney in India. But after making this transaction, I feel pissed off. R2I sucks !!!!!!!!! and I will never use their service again for any mode of transaction.
Everytime u call R2I customer care...they are ready with a same reply...please drop an email to info@remit2india.com. When u drop email....all you get is an automated reply saying that u will get a response in 1-2 business days.
I can imagine if Wire transfer is taking 2 weeks (still pending so far), how much time will it take for other modes of transaction.
After that I used Money2India twice and the amount is credited by next day. I really liked Money2India service. And I recommend Money2India to everyone atleast for Wire Transfer. It will be credited in ur acct in 24 hours for sure (if ur destination bank is ICICI).
Never ever use REMIT2INDIA.
