How long should this letter take to be delivered?

Question

Hi,

On Monday, July 21st I purchased a money order at the post office and on the same day I delivered it at the Post Office. However, I am not sure whether the mail had already been collected at the Post Office since I arrived at a later time to send it out.

I contacted the person whom I sent the money order to and they assured me that they would notify me when the money order was received. However, it is now Friday and I have received no word of the money order being received or cashed in.

The person whom I've sent the money order to lives in California, while I live in New Jersey. So, the order had quite a long way to go.

So, my question is, should I wait a little while longer to see if the order was received.. or should I go ahead and ask for a new one?

I'm considering the fact that the money order was lost because I have had past experiences with envelopes opening and things falling out of it, etc.

Answer 1

call him to double check

Answer 2

It should of taken 2-4 days, but waiting a few days after that is common but if it doesn't get delivered then yes, it was lost, sorry.
