Canadian Money Order...HELP!!!!!!!

<strong>Your bank/credit union should be able to cash it.<br>I don't see a problem with that.</strong>

I received a Canadian pink money order for an EBay sale...<br><br>Any idea how to cash this, or is it pretty worthless to me in the U.S?/

<font color="#FF0000">Is it a AN INTERNATIONAL POSTAL MONEY ORDER in U.S.? I love those. Any post office will cash it on the spot with proper I.D. You canship the item immediately. The bank will also cash them w/o a problem.<br><br><br>By the way, the post office will cash ANY INTERNATIONAL POSTAL MONEY ORDER IN U.S. dollars right there on the spot. You just need your identification.<br>maribell</font>

Can't find "International Money Order" on it anywhere. Just states "Postal Money Order" and "Canada Post".<br><br>Thanks for the replies. I'll try the bank tomorrow...(I tend to panic over stupid stuff. This threw me off <img src="http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif"> )

Many banks are PITA's with these. They simply don't like to fool with them and use all sorts of excuses to not cash them. First time I tried they toldme it was fake.<br>Just to be cantankerous whenever I get one I take it to the bank just to have them decline it.<br><br>Take it as noted to the Post Office. Thats the easiest. It's fine.

What if it's in $ CDN?

I just cashed one at the p.o. my bank wouldnt cash it,, post office will do it.<br>

My credit union doesn't like them either, they said something to the effect of it taking weeks to clear if I chose to deposit it. <img src="http://www.redlinesonlinemessageboard.yuku.com/domain/bypass/images/confused01.gif" alt="image"> They also suggested cashing it at the P.O. and that'swhat I did with no problems.<br><br>

Just to let everyone know .A U.S.Postal Money that we Canadians send to the U.S. is just that . A U.S. Postal Money order. All the Pink Money Orders have asmall U.S. symbol beside the money value.They should not be cashed anywhere else but at a U.S. Post office .<br><br> You go to any U.S. Post office ,once there go to the Counter .The person there will phone the Number on the back of the MO .It will be verified right overthe phone .You will recieve your cash right on the spot without ever any charges..<br><br> Alot of Banks ,Credit Unions may cash them as you can read some of the people have said .But there are Way too many banks that don't know what theyare doing in the U.S.<br>They screw them up and alot of times they want to charge you for cashing them .Alot of hassle when you don't need it .Just go to a Post Office.<br><br> TexKitty I dont Know about that .If it is in Can.$ the person sent you the wrong one .It sholud always have the U.S. symbol beside the $ value . So ifyour are accepting Postal Money Orders from Canadians you have to specify ,U.S.Postal Money Order. So when the person in Canada goes to the Post Office he canask for a U.S Postal Money Order. Especialy when that person is a first time buyer or has never Bought a MO before .<br><br> Boy that is alot of Typing !!!!<br><br> Hope this helps .U.S Postal Money Orders are Pretty Simple to Use !!! Thanks bob<br><br> Always Looking for Redline Beaters &amp; Parts !!!!<img src="http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/nerd.gif" alt="image"><br><br>

<blockquote> Boy that is alot of Typing !!!!</blockquote>LOL thanks for all the info, Bobby! <img src="http://www.ezboard.com/image/posticons/pi_thumbsup.gif" alt="image"><br>I've only had one Canadian money order to deal with, so I figured as long as I was at my credit union with a few other money orders, I'd give it a try. If I'd known they'd look at me like I had 2 heads, I wouldn't even have asked. <img src="http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/laugh.gif" alt="image"><br>

I just cashed one last week from Canada and it went through<br>just fine as stated above with proper identification.

Oh, I didn't receive a Canadian money order. I was just asking that in case it made a difference which currency the funds were in. I didn't know thatthey were US money orders. I appreciate the info because now I can add that to my list of funds accepted.
