Guy insists on giving me a personal check
Had a carburetor listed locally and someone out of Texas bought it, wants me to cash his check wait 3 days
for it to clear and mail the carburetor to him. I smell a rat, he's quite adamant about sending only a check.
Doesn't the post office offer a cashier's check or money gram option at a fairly reasonable charge? He has said
he'll need to go to the Post Office to mail it.
Have one week left of cancer treatments, chemo side effects are kicking my butt.

Postal Money order. USPS money order fees are $2.55 for amounts up to $500 and $3.60 for amounts between $500.01 and $1,000. Postal military money orders (issued at military facilities) cost $0.84. Maximum individual domestic money order amount is $1,000.

(945 posts)Finishing up my second round tomorrow. Currently wearing a to-go chemo bag, which beats 3 days in the hospital at least. The symptoms are many and varied.
I hope you'll have a complete recovery.
I don't know nothing about checks or money orders anymore. Good luck with that, too.
