Losing a Money Order

RE: Losing a Money Order Post by Moomama11 (8) | (11/08/2007) Contact You will have to pay about $3.00 for a search/inquiry on a postal money order. YOU WILL HAVE TO WAIT 60 DAYS FOR A REFUND IF THE SEARCH INDICATES REASON FOR IT. It's really the safest money order issued. Just , like all government agencies, takes so long and keeps your money tied up. Good luck. postal employee for 15 yrs RE: Losing a Money Order Post By Dean (Guest Post) (11/08/2007) I think the most sensible thing to do is have your friend ask the post office what their policy is on lost money orders. RE: Losing a Money Order Post By Lois (Guest Post) (11/07/2007) I bought mine at WAl Mart .25 cents each still don't know where it went but cost 12.00 to have it traced and they will take the 12.00 out and send you the balance due. Make sure you keep your stub you have to have the numbers on it to file a claim.

In the mean time if your paying a bill you would need to pay that bill again so it isnt late. I believe the only way to get immediat refund is you get cashier checks.. but they also cost more, $3 where I live. RE: Losing a Money Order Post by Marge W.

It's best to call the post office for details on USPS money orders.
