Since I live in a small northern Mi. town and it is at the end of the day I say OK, When can I cash them.

She says she does not know and that they rarely have that much if ever.

I say just tell me when to come back and i will come back then.

She tells me in a raised voice that she does not know when they will have the money . She tells me to take them to my bank.

By this time 4 or 5 five workers come up front to see what the commotion is
.
One of the postal workers is the post master, the big boss.

I have to retell my story and ask why the post office can sell the money orders but can't cash them?

The post master understands my question and tells me he wonders the same thing.

I ask if he can tell me if they are real. He looks at them and says he thinks they are real ,but asks what state they are from .

I tell him the state and he says yes they are .

I take them to my bank for deposit and they say to wait 7-10 days to withdraw.


Just thought i would let you know my experience.
