| Has anyone ever had the Post Office lose a money order. I sent off a USPS money order on January 31...It was sent priority 2-3 day and with Delivery Confirmation and it has not been received by the other party. Thank God he has been VERY understanding. So it has been over a week and he has not received the MO (we live in the same state). What steps and how long of a wait before I can get a refund and get this guy his money….Thanks for any help…..KC |
| I've had them lose one before. To replace a lost or stolen money order you fill out Form 6401 at a Post office and pay a fee of $3.00. Then they do a status check on the money order, whether it has been cashed by anyone, anywhere, and then they issue a new one. I can't remember exactly, but I believe there is a required waiting period from date of issue before you can file the form. There may also be one from date of filing form. Something like 45 days total, or thereabouts. Take your receipt down to the post office and pick up the form and get the timetable. It's a pain having it happen, I feel for you. |
I try and cover my ass by sending it 2-3 day and with Delivery Confirmation but I still got burned by the USPS...The other party is a stand up guy (Sbar) he went ahead and sent the rifle with out receiving the MO...I just fill shitty that he has not recieved the MO yet

+1 but took about 90 days for me. The person I was dealing with was awsome!(cant remember his name) he held the item the whole time! |
