    Payout Question

    Requested a W.U. payout from 5d around 10am yesterday, and they said it would be available in 24 hours or less.
    It's now nearly noon, and still nothing. What's worse is I leave for Canada in about 30 minutes.

    With that said, they can't cancel the transaction, and they said if I don't pick up the money in a short amount of time, they aren't responsible if it's not available when I return in a week! Sounds like horsesh!t but whatever.

    My question is can I pick up in another state or in Canada, if I have my license showing the city, state I'm from?
    I feel I was a little deceived here, and want to ensure I get my money. I really need it in Canada.

    Anything guys?

    I believe you can pick it up at any W.U.

    no you can't.. if you are in the states you have to pick it up in the state you sent it. I am 100 percent positive of this. the money will be there when you get back. they will hold it for 2 months..

    i use to live on the florida georgia line. once money was sent to florida i went acoss the border to georgia and i couldnt pick it up.

    call ** and find out. They wouldnt let me. Told me it had to be picked up in state it was sent to.. Unless i am confusing it with **.

    Either way.....5d led me to believe 24 hours or less was a hard number, not just an average or estimate.

    Really needed this money for vacation. Very disappointed to say the least.

    By the way, I should say that I did my request over the phone on Thursday at about 10am. Maybe that is why the control number was ready within 12 hours.


    **** the website payout request guys, give them a call. I learned the hard way by using the website payout request, they take muchhhhhh longer than a simple phone call

    Couldnt get my money in Canada, but no problems once I returned.
    Still bullcrap they say 24 hours or less, when in fact it took nearly 36 before the info became available.
