a while and they're very reliable. NOTE : I made an extra payment of
300 RM and i am sure you noticed that, you'll have to send the
extra amount to the Shipping Company through Western Union right away,
so that the pick up agent can come as soon as possible for the pick up

Headquarters where they normally confirm any commission payment via
western union Office, pick up agent Headquarter info needed to send
the money through Western Union :
