How do I go about sending a Postal Order?

Question

Believe it or not I've never done it before, due to the simplicity and convenience of Paypal. Iv heard its very simple but dont actually know how to go about it lol.

Answer 1

It is quizzical that the USPS pages are coming up as USPS.com instead of USPS.gov. However, the information provided should accurately reflect the information that you will want to use to place the money order purchase. I have purchased several; however, I have yet to "cash" one. So, that would be a good question to pose to whomever you speak with regarding it at the post office.

Basically you fill out the information as to whom it is being sent on two parts of a form...date, amount, etc...

Then you keep your portion for your records. Pay the amount being sent (there may be maximums allowed) to the recipient and a small fee. Most will accept cash, check, or a debit card for the transaction provided that the security system checks are met.

Are you aware that one may telephone the post office and speak with a postal employee about such things...? Someone should be able to help ensure that you bring the items that you will need to make the transaction with you.

Answer 2

You just go to the Post Office and buy a Postal Order for the amount you want, then put it in an envelope and send it to the person, who can take it to their PostOffice and cash it for the same amount. It costs a few pence more than the amount you want to send, but probably less than Paypal fees.

You can fill in the person's name on it, so that only they can cash it, or leave it blank.

Answer 3

Got to Post Office and ask for a postal order for however much you're paying. They print it out and you post it like a cheque. Normal postal orders can be cashed anywhere, crossed postal orders can only be paid into a bank account.

Answer 4

You go into a post office and queue up for an hour, then ask them for a postal order for whatever the amount is. There is a charge for it. Then you just post it to the person and they pay it into their bank account.

Answer 5

Go to the Post Office, pay your cash, etc...(see other responses). But the important thing is don't do it if you can avoid it. I thought about it once and the charge was 4.50 for a 50 pound payment. Stick with Paypal if you can.

Answer 6

You mean a Postal Money Order. Simply go to the local post office and tell them you want to buy a Money Order for XXX amount. They will print it out for you no problem. They do cost a small fee and you musy pay by cash, or debit card, NO credit cards. Simply fill out the recipients name and your name as sender, keep the stub for your records and mail it off.

Answer 7

Go to post office. Each money order cost 95 cents. So whatever your postal order plus 95 cents. It's really easy, just go to counter and tell them how much you want the money order and that's it.

Answer 8

You purchase it from the Post Office there is a charge.
