They suggested that I cancel my withdraw and request Western Union. They will only do 1000 at a time and once per week but they assure me that they are not backed up with cash withdraws and it will in fact be processed within 3-5 days. I can't see my bank wire taking another 5 weeks so I think I should keep waiting. Also this is my first withdraw of the year so I am getting the 5k wire for free and if I cancel it I will pay $120 in fees over the 5 withdraws. IDK please offer your advice as I know I am in a unique situation where most of you waiting for money don't have the option of cash withdraws. Thanks.
My advice is to just wait unless you REALLY REALLY need the money because doesn't WU soak u in fees?
I have been waiting since 2/18. This is the longest a wire has taken for me although the first one I ever got took somewhere around this time frame if I remember correctly.
Anyhow as far as the checks go this is nothing new. They have had delays in this range before but they always catch up and eventually times should improve if you go by their track record alone
