Dead wrong Josh,
Canadian banks and credit unions are now flat out refusing to cash the USPS
"domestic" MO's as they say quite clearly on them US ONLY. There was a
period a little while ago where areas such as ours ( victoria, BC) which
are quite close to the border and have a lot of trade back and forth were
accepting the MOs -- that has now all stopped. I've had several in the last
six months where the MOs had to be replaced because of this. Sure wish
people could read on those auctions as I specifically state IMOs only.
