Hello,
I would really appreciate advice on this, I know people must send money back to the UK.
So far I know there is;
1. Western Union - they have a high charge fee.
2. MoneyGram - has anyone used this service? It seems a cheaper option.
3. China Bank tell me to exchange my RMB to $ then transfer plus a fee - does this sound normal?
Sorry for the long winded post - but I need to get some money home!
Thanx for reading!
How the heck can I trf money to UK without huge fees?

you can ask your family or friend looking for some local chinese who lives in UK(as chinese restos etc, as they need send money back to China as well, find their contact in China, give chinese Yuan to the people they indique, then there the chinese people give UK dollars to ur family or friends.

Hi:
Probably the best option you have is western union they charge to me US 25 for sending up to US 2000 to the US.
Another option is Postal Savings Bank Of China but your bank in the UK has to be in partnership with Deutsche Bank fee is .8 % 0f principal plus Y70.
Good luck!!
