I sent a money order for $115 to eWiz.com for a 3000 venice last monday 7/11. I called today and they still have not received the Money Order. I am getting very concerned very fast. Usually First Class mail does not take this long to go from MI to CA.

what difference do you think it makes that your first class envelope had a money order in it? a letter without a money order should take the same amount of time. the post office doesn't scan envelopes for money orders and expedite them or something based on a money order being in the envelope

Clearly, money orders travel on different routes then conventional mail, thus they take different amounts of time to arrive to their destination.

FoBot - You need to stop this, now. I really wish our ATOT community would stop misleading each other like this. The Post Office knows that Da Man sent a money order and thus put it on the special M.O. Route (TM).

Actually no. I bought the Postal Money Order from the post office. Then I put it in an envelope and mailed it. So actually it would get there at the same time a regular envelope would. But usually first class mail is like 2-3 days.
