But you got paid in pesos, right? How big of a hit did you take on the exchange rate?
I send reguarly swiss francs to the dr, recieved in pesos, like monthly.*
The way I do it is get a friend or relative to go to office and send cash ( for lots of diffrent reasons, i prefer cash ). Same day delivery to my door in dr. The exchange rate is waaay better than if i changed swiss francs here in the dr. End of september I was in switzerland. I phone my wife and ask local exchange rate ( caribe express, popular.....). It was 43. Something. Via express was 46. ( after 2 o'clock central european time, it always gains a xouple of decimals then ).*
But sometimes I need the swiss francs in the dr. What I have done a couple of times is send myself, for pick up at popular, ban reservas, etc, swiss francs through via express. I get an adress and a code and can pick up the currency I paid with in switzerland, in my case swiss francs. I travel to the dr and a couple of days later I go and pick it up.
If the delivery is in pesos, u can pick them up an hour after the transaction back in europe. If in foreign currency they need a couple of days.
