So, it looks like delays in money transfers is a normal occurrence? I am trying to do some repairs on my property back home, and used MoneyGram to wire several thousand to my sister. In the MoneyGram office in the US they said money will be there in 10 minutes. My sister went to pick it up from the bank, but was told that they don't have cash until the end of the month.
Does this mean that someone put this money into some kind of financial transaction to make some interest on it to put into their pocket, or what? Has this ever happened to anyone here?
