BofA is the devil in so many ways on top of their outrageous fees. Fortunately I haven't had the displeasure of dealing with them for over 20 years.

Sadly wire fees are absurdly high at most banks, and international are even worse. The best bet in my experience is to use ACH to transfer money into Wise and then wire from your Wise balance which is much cheaper. Be careful though, if you set up a wire transfer with Wise and it's setup to pull it from your bank account and not your Wise balance you'll pay both Wise's fee PLUS your bank's fee.

f-it. SRY worked with me thru alibaba and it was just as easy as ordering thru amopure. They have a huge product line too.
 
Fidelity CMA should offer you free wires. Charles Schwab and Chase will also offer free wires, but do require a certain amount of assets be held with them (100k and 75k respectively)..
 
Amopure let me use Alibaba. Was that because I was a first-time customer, or have they changed?

No change. Amopure still allows Alibaba Pay which I have linked to PayPal.
 
AliBaba is the best for me, I can use local instant bank transfer with fee below $1

Blah, I waited too long and missed out. Fast communication from SRY though.
