Quick question about Western Union

[lostravenblue]

I found a WU location that does cambio, and I tried to ask this question to them directly, but language barrier. So I need to send dollars to myself. Can I just receive my transfer in dollars there, or do I still need to go through getting my money in pesos and then going to other counter to exchange it?

If they have separate counters for Western Union and exchanging dollars, you probably need to go to the Western Union counter first, and you'll receive pesos. I recommend finding out the peso-to-dollar exchange rate at the exchange counter before starting your Western Union pickup.

Darn, that's what I was afraid of. Thank you.
