I transferred just over $650 on 06/16/06 to a friend in India, after 7 visits to my branch of Wash Mu, and over 7 weeks later the funds arrived in his account, seems they were sent to the wrong wire room in India and ended up in Bomabay instaed of Calcutta.

I complained until I was blue in the face, but they do not care one iota.

I guess the old saying that 'Nothing in life is free', rings true here.
Back to Wells Fargo and the $42 transfer fee for me, at least I know the transaction will be done by competant people.........Did a transfer to the same guy in India last Monday, it was in his account 4 days later.
Funniest thing about the whole affair is the Manager of my local branch asking me to "reconsider my decision" to close my accounts down ..............Yeah right!!

Wash Mutual lost ONE customer in me (I know they probably don't care less about that), but I lost 4 good customers because of this delay, I care about that!!!!
The whole sorry affair proabaly cost me over $4000.00 in total in lost revenue.
Guess who I'll recommend to people who ask!!
