Send your original documents to the university. Here the service provider will come in handy as they will do the talking with the university on your behalf.
You have to submit the notarized documents to the service provider after they come up with a solution.
Then you will get your transcripts at your doorstep without much fuss.

You can do all this work by yourself or through some of your acquaintances as well but it will take your precious time on unnecessary work.
