They can deliver cash right to your home, no fuss when you are RECIEVING MONEY .... Western Union uses mail services like DHL etc. so that you can get the money right at home ...THE STEPS TAKEN FOR RECIEVING MONEY AT HOME -
1) The courier will telephone you (the reciever) for the details of your photo-identification and will enter this information in the "To receive money" form
2) You'll need to keep your original photo-ID and a photcopy of it handy when the courier comes to give you your money. Only when the courier can verify that there is no fraud will he/she give the money ...
3) The courier will also arrange a time for your delivery ...
Photo-ID can be anything - passport, driver's license, voter's ID, military photo ID, photo ration card, pan card, bank photo passbook, refuge ID card, and college photo ID.
Additional info - You CAN TRACK MONEY SHIPMENTS, therefore you can detect fraud early. I'm guessing the shipment will have an ID assigned by the courier. Therefore, once the sender sends the money, the ID code of the shipment can be shared with the reciever, and the reciever can check where it is and how long it will take to get to their house.
