Just thought I would add my experience also.

I just wired some cash into BTC-E and it arrived within about a week, however I was charged 4.23% in addition to all bank / agent bank charges. BTC-E have replied they only charged 1% and it was other banks who charged the 3.23%.

I called their bank komercni Banka who stated they do not charge such an amount.

Trying to find out why I got charged so much from BTC-E is like drawing blood out of a stone.
