post office "checking" postal money orders?

I get in postal money orders and I take them straight to the PO where they scan then and cash them, I never have or would try to deposit them to my bank account and cause delays, the PO can do it right there. Now if it is a ton of money the PO may not have that cash on hand to cash them and tell the person to come back the next day with the other MO's to receive payment on the ones they are unable to fund at the time.

Its unlikely that they would have said anything else, even if they thought the money orders were the worst forgeries they had ever seen.

Did you buy all of the money orders on the same day? From the same post office?

no; because the lady told me I could only buy up to $3000 worth a day. So I only bought $2000 one day, waited one day, then came back the next day to buy $1500.

I just think this whole thing is stupid... they aren't fake, all they had to do was call a number, IMHO... god this pisses me off so much.

I'm calling them tomarrow like you suggested, I'll let you know.
Actually, I'll be at the post office tomarrow anyway to send Scott & Michael their money orders... do you think I should say anything to the people there? Would they be able to help me?

Its worth mentioning to the folks at your post office to see if they know what could have happened.

If they don't know (and you have time) ask to speak to the post master of that post office.

Depending upon what they tell you, you may want to contact the USPS Postal Inspectors.

Anne,

What finally became of this? Did you ever receive your animals?

Regards.

I have kind of put this on the back-burner. I've been very busy lately and could not contact them within the times they've been open. But I will contact them this week.
Will post an update when I have it.

WOW.......for $3500, I would MAKE the time to contact them. If no one has contacted you still, I'd be awfully concerned that your money is gone....??

Same here, and I'm getting to the point where I would like to know who's the breeder. The main reason is that my payment choice is invariably postal money orders. They make me feel safer (so far!). This breeder might be among the ones I might consider doing business with in the future so I would like to know who he is.

Regards,

Yeah, I'd be pacing the floor, muttering, fretting and having trouble getting to sleep.

Not to mention saying lots of words that would get me in big trouble here.
