Postal Money Order versus Bank Money Order ???



Crazy question, but is there a difference between a US Postal Money Order and any other Money Order drafted from a US Bank account??? I notice some guys here very specifically note that they want a "US POSTAL MONEY ORDER ONLY!!". I thought all money orders were guaranteed funds??

depending on your bank, a bank money order is dangerous. it could take 2 weeks to put a stop payment on it so if it gets lost or stolen you may be out your funds. a money order is the same as cash and easily cashed if lost or stolen. a certified check or postal money order can have a stop payment put on it and it will be efective almost imediately. as i said it depends on your bank. it think a certified check is the way to go and send it registered mail same or next day service as well. hope this helps you.
