I have to be carful here because I have not called the dealer yet, and for all I know he may turn out to be very helpful. This is what happened to me: In May I ordered a CS Safekeeper for 75 dollars. (Use the search and check the general forum under User name: generallobster. The post "lack of success with mail order" was posted the day I found out my order was lost. http://www.bladeforums.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/002561.html
Anyway I went to the post office and got a money order, and then I sent it off. Two weeks later I called to check the status of the order. They said that there was no record of it. So I got pissed at the post office for loosing my mail. Well you have to wait two months before a PS 6401 form can be filled which tracks down the money order. So I waited then filled it out. Now another two months have passed, and today I got a letter that came from the post office. They tracked the money order down and said that it was cashed. They also sent me two photo copies of micro film which showed the front and back of the money order. On endorsment line was the company stamp and the bank into which they deposited the money order. To Cougar Allen: ironically the date the money order was cashed was the same date you posted a message telling me to have the post office cancel the payment--May 19.
My question is what do I do now? The only explanation I have is that the money order must have been placed in a pile with all the other checks to be cashed, and they simply forgot to write up an order for it. I hate the situation I am in because I know that when I call, I will come off sounding as if I am accusing them of foul play. They will no doubt think that I am the one who is trying to rip them off. I just want to know a few things from the members here: Has this ever happened to you? What would you do in my situation? And what is going to happen to my money--there must be some thing that prevents people from cashing checks and not sending the product right?
