I have a few questions about them. I've never gotten one as a form of payment, but I will be soon because I don't really think its safe to send more then $8 or so in cash.Anyway...the questions. 1. Are they made payable to me? Like checks are?
2. Is it just like cash? Can I go into the bank, hand them the MO and then walk out with the money?
3. Do you think this is a better form of payment.
4. Whats the diff between MO and cashiers checks? Alright, thats it. Please reply. ------------------

1. yes
2. yes
3. Nothing is better than cash, but it's alot safer. MO's are much better than checks because they can't bounce.
4. ? I've never got one of those.------------------

To get a M.O. just go down to a 7-11 or any kind of gas station/convenience store and say "I need to get a money order for $___.__". You can also get them at the Post Office or your bank, but sometimes the post office M.O.s can be a hassle for people to cash. Normally they cost $.50-$0.99.------------------

Thanks for the imput guys.I also just discovered that you can get MO's at grocery stores. Or at least at the Giant's around here. But I think Giant is just a Maryland based store ------------------

yeah, grocery stores usually sell 'em too. just be careful if you decide to get a m.o. & you need to send it outta the country. international ones cost a lot more.IP: Logged |

You guys are lucky... you can only get MO at the PO and the Bank here (then again, I hate this town.) Anywhere else I know that you can only get MO in a post office based drug store. Anyway- http://www.usps.com has the rates on making money orders in different currencies ... Oh, Jina. You should ask your bank. I live in Canada, and I sent a International USD Money order to a girl in NY, and she told me she was charged $10 just to get it in her bank (and I felt awful- she ended up losing $2.50 since my payment was just $7.50) [This message has been edited by klumsygirl (edited 05-23-2000).] IP: Logged |

<< I live in Canada, and I sent a International USD Money order to a girl in NY, and she told me she was charged $10 just to get it in her bank >>?!?! whoa. if it was in us dollars there's no reason i know of that she should have been charged to cash it or deposit it. i run a mailorder & deal with international mo's almost daily. i've never been charged or questioned when cashing them.
damn, that really sucks for her! ------------------

Yeah... you're telling me. It was in $10 USD. But I found it kindof hard to believe- wouldn't the bank have a leniancy towards this, since they were just trying to accept a $7.50 USD MO? I don't know. I told her that she should have sent it back to me, but she said she didn't get her bank statement until two weeks after she sent my package.IP: Logged |
