WILL NEVER USE WESTERN UNION SERVICE AGAIN

Horrible! I will not use them again, myself and my fiance sent money from our uk account to our South african account, when I arrived at the agent office they informed me that western union cancel the transaction with no reason and we would need to contact western union to ask what is happening. We contacted them and they told us that they dont know why it was canceled however the funds will be refunded within 5 to 7 business day????!!!! We need the money now not within 7 business days !!!!!!! Otherwise we would have done an eft and waited the 3 days. This is pathetic, I will not at all, never ever use western union again, im gping to be dping efts from now on. Western union you honestly caused such a massive inconvenience, ypur service is way too risky for us to use in future
