I used one of the Nepali online money transfer thing (I don't want to mention their number publicly), it wasn't the best experience. My money however reached the designated address but I was charged service fee + my bank charged me foreign transaction fee. I end up paying total of $75 just to send little bit of money through these folks, while it would only take about $30 from Western Union or moneygram. Maybe these guys were doing money laundering and I noticed this because my bank blocked the transaction due to their automated security features and these guys from online money transfer freaked out and started calling me twice a day. They recommended me to mention my bank that I actually brought something expensive through Nepal online. This is the heads up to anybody who is sending money to Nepal. I recommend bank to bank transfer (they provide better exchange rate than Western Union or Money Gram)
