Western Union Recommendation

After running around to 4 different WU locations with no luck (system down, location non existent, etc) I had a great experience at the Viamonte 522 office across the street from Galerias Pacifico. They had 4 agents open and available and this was at 5:30 pm. Very professional and courteous. $300 US was not a problem.
Wow which ones did you go to? I go to that one and they always are good and have money. Also, the location in Palermo Soho on Guatemala and Armenia always is good too.
 
Thanks for the info! I tried the one next to Hotel Pulitzer where I'm staying at the moment (Manipur and Paraguay) a couple on Florida St in those little arcade type establishments, and one on Cordoba St a block from Florida St (this one looked closed down).

Yes, the one Larry mentioned is the one that I always go to. It's quite large. It's listed below. It usually has about 3 or 4 tellers all working so even if there is a line it goes quickly. I usually go in the morning. I've never had issues even sending larger amounts.


 
Nice. The gal I went to also spoke English as well. I speak a bit of Spanish but that always helps as I'm hearing impaired.
That is awesome! I'm fluent in Spanish but I've had good luck that most at the Western Union spoke English or at least to ask me my passport, etc. I've found them generally friendly at Western Union. I also go to the one in Palermo Soho near my Airbnb.
