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

I am not sure what you mean exactly, but my advice to ALL is to be CAREFUL
when sending ANY payments to Moroccans. Did I strike a nerve, Aziz Alhyane?!
You also mention that you, "...hate the girl works there [DHL]." I think
she, and the others who work there to be quite friendly and have been
extremely helpful to me in person or over the phone over the many years [I
continue to work there].

Any further comments you have, Mr. Alhyane? Do not go fishing for replies, I
will let you know how I feel!

Best regards,
Greg

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
