Protection with Money orders

[Chanman420q]

Is there anyway to protect your self with a money order. Im buying some shocks and the ammount isnt something i want to mess with. The seller cant take Paypal. I just want some sence of security.

He could send it COD and then you give the delivery guy the money order.

i havent done it in a while but i think u just give the delivery guy the money and they get it back to the shipper.

i believe you can cancell a money order if something goes wrong..i dunno tho..i have used money orders for all of my purchases and nothings gone wrong yet! knock on wood

Have the seller send it COD. When you get the merchandise, look it over, then give the delivery person the MO. The delivery person hands it in and its sent to the seller. There is a extra charge for something shipped COD and you're prob going to have to pay it if you want peace of mind.

no i dont think you can stop payment on a money order. what you can do is give the seller a post dated check so you have time to look at the merchandice, if somethings wrong tell the bank to stop payment,

the best way to do it is cod the carge is like 7 bucks tops and most sellers will make you wait till the check clears to send the merchandice anyway

Why not? It doesn't cost anything for either of you. Sure, it might take a week and a half, but it's relatively secure... aside from a personal check (which you can't stop payment on after it's cleared anyway).

Most shipping companies (UPS) will not allow you to open the package to examine the contents unless the delivery driver has the check. You give the driver a check, you get the box and can then open it.

Check first.
