It is a money order you buy at the post office...just lkie you can buy a money order at a 7-11 store. Postal money orders were the original type of money orders. just get in line for a window at the post office to buy one and be sure to save the receipt portion for your records.

A postal money order is just that. It's a money order you purchase at the Post Office. It's generally regarded as more trustworthy than regular money orders because it's backed by the financial strength of the US Postal Service.

At the post office, you can get an international money order but, the regular money orders are the same as any where else.

Postal money orders shoot back (I'm just playing with you).
Practically speaking, a money order is a money order. Last time I bought one at the post office I think it was $0.75 as opposed to $0.50 thru Western Union or $1.25 thru my bank. A lot of older people (who still go to the Post Office to pick up their SS check on the third of every month) find them convenient.

It's a money order that will spray you with an AK-47 if you mess with it.
No, seriously, it's just a money order that you can buy at the Post Office. No different from any other money order for the most part.

It's a regular money order, but you get it at the post office. EBayers often like these better, becasue they're more of a sure thing than a money order from Joe's Bank of Eastern Nebraska

It's still a money order but you can cash them at the post office, up to their available cash. They are cheaper and easier to replace if lost too, just keep the stubs.

Sure, just sign it like a check (on the back) and take it to the bank. It's better than cash!
