I have never sent a money order before as I have done all my transactions with paypal. I was wondering how it works. Does the money order automatically coming with tracking numbers or notifies you when the money order is received/activated? Also how much does it cost to ship and what the fees (if any) are like? All help is appreciated, thank you.

You should have a receipt for your money order with the number. You can call the MO company to see if it's been cashed. I think!

Ok, thanks for the information.

Do you know how much it costs to send money orders? (like example 25 bucks?)

I haven't sent a money order in a few months but last one cost me 90 cents. So if it was $25, It would cost you $25.90 to purchase.

Ken,

The $30 was a joke.

A MO costs less than two dollars [+ however much it is for] and it is the cost of a stamp to mail it out. I love MOs

I think on the West Coast, WINCO, has the cheapest price on money orders. Last time I got one there it was 25 cents.

I work for a bank. With the bank I work for, certain types of checking accounts get free money orders and travelers cheques. Check with your bank if you have a checking acct. and see if they charge you for MO's based on the type of acct. you have with them.
