So just did a Walmart to BTC address, thru moneygram/zip zap, and even though I made sure everything was correct amount/info wise I received about 7 usd less than I should have according to bitinstant's website, and the blockchain after 6 confirmations shows an amount less than what I should have received according to bitinstant. What is the deal? I have never had an issue before.

bitinstant doesn't include zip zap's fee. When I transfer $300 from moneygram to btc address, I pay about 7 to 7.5% over the mtGox spot rate.

Ok this actually makes me feel a little better, maybe I'm not going crazy. I just did a bitinstant moneygram @ CVS to bitcoin address and I'm also coming up around $7 short.....I should of had approx .35 btc left over after my order and now I'm .41 short????? Anyone have any ideas on this?
-
the conversion rate of bitcoin to USD changes, which is why you would have a bit more left over after your order.

Blockchain was used, and was supposed to receive about 42 but ended out with 39 somehow. Anonymizer was another 1.5% but I am almost positive I read an initial 42 entry in Blockchain, and assumed the 39 was the fee but doing the math doesn't pan out :\ I can't exactly make a scene, so I'll just eat it.
I guess nothing necessary or good in life comes easily. I guess who cares where they moved the cheese? Just get it. Too bad I'm not a mouse.
