    Yes it is safe but it will cost you more than sending it by check or credit card.

    It's the safest method to transfer money + your transactions are insured as well. However, you have to prepared to pay for high wire fees usually 20-40USD depending how many intermediate banks are involved.

    It depends on what you mean by safe ? If you mean that the bank would not steal your money and that the receipient gets it then I would say Yes, probably you provided the correct information for the transfer.

    However if you are asking if you got any recourse to ask for a refund if the other party do not send you the product then no, once a fund transfer is completed, you cannot reverse it.

    Wire tranfer is the safest and most secure for international transfers. Costs me $40 at Chase as they just raised the rates. A lot cheaper then Wsestern Union which costs $14 to send a $100. Wire transfers are great for sending large sums.

    Its safe to recieve wire transfer but high fees and if its big amount be careful, you can not hide that from tax.
    You must know the sender do have ability to cancel the wire until its forwarded to intermediatery bank, once forwarded, it can not be reversed.

    cheers!
