    Postal Money Order Questions

    Has anyone here ever had a money order get lost in the mail...and if so, how long after filing a claim did it take to get reimbursed or a get a new money order?

    The reason I ask is I recently purchased an upper on the EE and the money order has been in limbo for almost a week now and the seller of the upper has not received it yet.

    Should I be concerned?

    I would be calling the USPS not asking here. Second, the holidays are still here and I am sure that they are still pretty busy.

    I purchased an item in the EE before Christmas and it took forever to arrive. USPS is really busy so I would not be overly concerned.

    Call them and check if you are concerned, then report back with their response please.

    I'm headed up to the Post Office here in a couple minutes. I'll see what I can find out (depending on how busy it is).

    I would give it a few more days.

    Here is a link to information on the USPS website concerning lost money orders.

    Snail Mail Update. Money order Arrived Today

    The Rural Carrier delivered your money order today. He apologized for the delay, the three legged donkey he was riding was very tired!


    Your upper went out today just before 1600 hours. You should get tracking info and delivery confirmation, I added your email in the online form. It went out priority express I hope you’re sending rounds down range by Friday or Saturday at the latest.
