Gentlemen, please read the original post. It does not take 'several weeks' for a USPS MO refund, it takes a minimum of 2mos. That's 60 days! This info is direct from a USPS Supv, yesterday.
That's a big part of why I posted in the first place, and what convinced me that sending a MO as payment is not for me. As stated in my original post, I'm stuck. No way to find out where the payment is, no way to 'cancel the MO for refund' until 60days goes by- and that's just beginning the process! Afeter 60days then you fill out the forms, after that they investigate to see if the MO was cashed. A refund could take 3mos to recieve! Others may be ok with that scenario and get it but it isn't for me.
I have always viewed the word "several" as 5 to 7 of something. so 2 months = 8 weeks or say "7 weeks" or "several weeks." If I recall correctly, the MO that Classic Arms lost back in 1997 took about 3 months to get refunded. I got the money back.....with no tracking on the package....this was before I knew how to keep good records or mail things certified, or most importantly, staple the check to the memo, but I got it back. Alas, the [then] $300.00 all-matching German Luger was long gone. *Those are over $1000.00 now, easily. This one was "Russian Capture" but all matching.
I am a fan of paying by credit card but not of being payed by credit card. Credit card charges are very easy to cancel as are cards themselves.....further, people do not view credit as "real money," one reason the average American owes nearly $10,000 in credit card bills.
To the OP, I think you'll get your money back, I am sorry you had this happen.
