Easy enough to verify the validity of the money order. The USPS provides a toll free phone number, (866) 459-7822 and follow the prompts, to verify the money order. I use this to check on a money order before mailing the item I have sold. I'd be having a sit down with the bank president and maybe moving on.
I currently have over $1000 in USPS money orders in my wallet.
I went to the local USPS branch again yesterday and asked to cash them. The lady said maybe she had enough cash to cash the smallest one ($60) but she didn't. I asked when to come back when they would have cash and she didn't know. Suggested my bank.
My bank won't cash them. they say there are too many fakes out there. They will deposit them but hold the funds 14 days. This pretty much eliminates what most people are trying to accomplish of a cash transaction.
My bank will cash checks and hand me the money.
Anyone else have trouble cashing these?

Had one lost about a year ago. Waited 30 days I think, filled out the paperwork, got a check in the mail. Not much of a problem!Worse part of a PMO is if it gets lost you cant stop payment on it and it takes forever to get your money back.
Was using cash for small purchases, got comfy I guess. Mailed $70 for brass. Receiver said letter, no money. That pretty much ended the cash for me.Go Old Bill Gebhardt had the right idea, perhaps. Send green. He said he never had any problems selling his Bald Eagle Rests. I sent him the cash a couple times and had no problems. I’m sure he had a lump in his throat at times but that didn’t change him from his policy. Recently a guy insisted on sending cash for something I sold him. It went off without a hitch but these days you just never know. I guess with honest people at both ends the odds of no problem are better.
Unless in all that time somebody else cashes it.Had one lost about a year ago. Waited 30 days I think, filled out the paperwork, got a check in the mail. Not much of a problem!
