This is an odd request, but im at my wits end trying to purchase an Altinay pipe using Western Union. If any kind soul would like to walk me through this process via PMs, it would be GREATLY appreciated.

Have you looked at the Altinay pipes available at Tobaccopipes.com? Might be an easier process.
He actually has a pipe set aside for me, but the frustration of trying to get him money is making me lose what little hair i have left
I've got an import from Russia that's been hung up in customs for a month. I won't be importing again any time soon. A recent order from Turkey was similarly delayed.
Heck, ill just throw this up here...see if anyone has a solution.
SO I want to pay using my Western Union account on my computer, since i cant seem to pay via CC. I kept getting multiple rejections and the bank said it was on Altinay's end. Of course he said it was my bank.
So i am going the Western Union route, and he had stated to use the name option. Now I dont see that, and paying requires an IBAN. He says that if i need the IBAN, im using the wreong option. I dont want to go to the WU store, as its an extra $50. Im sure someone has encountered this issue in the past

What am I missing, why not just use a regular credit card? Or open and fund a PayPal account? Or mail him a money order?
I checked just now,it apparently isn't. But credit card and bank transfer are. If worse comes to worse, buy a funded credit card. If for some strange reason it doesn't work, use it to buy groceries.
The juice probably ain't worth the squeeze to go through all of that. Find one elsewhere already in the states - if you have to have one. FWIW I've had two brand-new, & one was good with no issues, but one had some minor issues due to lack of fit & finish. I bought them from Europe & it was still a pain in the ass, & I wouldn't bother to do it again.
Well just an update for whoever might be doing the same thing and a bit of closure
So WU is not allowing the cash option to Turkey at this time. I discussed this with Altinay who allowed the IBAN use with WU.
Thank you all for your help!!
