I also just went through a similar experience. I sent a money order by USPS priority mail on 1-18-02. It arrived on 1-30-02. I will not send another letter sized item by USPS priority mail.
What to do... US Postal Money order not received.
I've Priority mailed a US Postal Money Order for $610.00 to purchase audio equipment here on AudiogoN. It's been 13 days now and the Money Order has not yet been received ! I've told the seller that he could sell the equipment to someone else so he isn't held up. In the meantime, i'm both stuck without the equipment and embarrased about what has happened. Now, I have to wait 60 days to get my funds, provided the Postal Money Order has not been cashed! What can I do now? What could I do to avoid this from happening in the future? This has never happened to me before. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
