Money Transfers
By Lainey | November 24, 2007
Most China Posts have a Western Union. The most accessible one would be in Huaihai Road, right by the Metro Line 1 Changshu station. You can get here either via the metro or via one of the Huaihai Road buses.
To check the nearest Western Union to your location, you may visit http://www.westernunion.com . They have an accurate directory listing of all the China Posts with Western Union services in Shanghai.
Always remember, when claiming your Western Union transfer, make sure you have the full name of the person who actually posted the transfer. I learned this the hard way and had to wait for a long time in the post office till I finally got hold of my friend. The staff just won’t budge no matter how much pleading you do.
