About a month back, I received a wire to my BankCom account, and those guys made me go back to Beijing to collect it... not just to Beijing, but to the branch in Dongzhimen, in which my account is based. And, I still had to wait in line for 30 minutes. They are a really bad bank, and my colleagues continually push me to simply go with ICBC, but I haven't jumped ship yet because: 1) I have Schwab and 2) signing up for bank accounts in China is annoying.
