So I have been reading the reviews that people have posted and decided to buy some machines, I went through the ordering process and decided to wire transfer the money but the bank that they want me to send to is in the Czech Republic and I am a little nervous about this.
Has anyone purchased from Spondoolies and made a wire transfer, was there any problems.
Thanks
I did a wire xfer from my bank besides making SURE to proof read all the info BEFORE the bank person sends/faxes the form
(it is a combo of czech bank if i remember right ..and Israeli address...and some other country....so be very very careful both
tiimes I found spelling address errors that could have really messed up the wire xfer
besides the pain of proofreading if I remember 3 languages.....once that was done..the bank emailed when they sent
it and emailed when it went thru ...both times it took less then 12 hours...and that was probably due to the time difference
day/nite with the USA...this was for the sp30 unit and the hosting later I sent in
again both went flawlessly
I DO WANT TO STRESS THIS I had a complete disaster with a different bank. with and order to KNC last year
..go to a COMMERCIAL BANK make sure
they are familiar with wire xfers overseas....i did a KNC order with a REGULAR bank (TCF Bank) and they LOST my frigging
wire xfer for a month or more....MAKE SURE YOU TELL THEM IT MUST BE SENT IN US DOLLARS (USD) ONLY! Make double
sure.....they may say it does but verify this with someone in the wire xfer dept (usually a higher up at a bigger branch bank)
The TCF teller said sure it will.we can xfer usd...(not!) ..the TCF main office before it went overseas has a BOT in the xfer that changes all USD
going out on the wire xfers to 'local currency' so the bank *usually* can make some $$$ in the wire xfer (in this case $12)
the knc bank expected usd....the us bank expected an acknowledgment it was received...it then sat in limbo...ie lost the damn thing
regular banks NO SQUAT go to a big commercial bank etc.make sure they do lots of international wire xfers
..also remember in USA any order more then 10K is reported
to the gov't and the bank can say it is suspicious...so I'd not lump payment more then 10k on the sp30 stuff in usa
anyway IF you get a good commercial bank that is familiar with this (not some college girl teller and oddball bank like TCF bank)
you should be fine
but actually re-reading the above just buy coin on
www.coinbase.com and pay them BTC would be the best choice
imho
anyway hope it helps....
