a little tutorial on how to do Money orders.
[quote="biz-one"]i just got tired of never see'ing a detailed enough thing on how to fill one out. so, i decided to write one myself!
Sorry. but i figured y'all already knew how to do it. just generate an order as usual..
click on the "pay by check money order etc.."
complete order.
you can either print that page. or if you dont have a printer. go to "orders I have made" you will see your order there(you might have to log out and in but i dont think so) click on it and your order number should be there. it will look like 08-1XXXXX. thats your order number I can look it up any time. just write it on a piece of paper and put it in the envelope.
Be sure to do this!!! It will delay your order if you dont. Then I will have to go through all the orders from the past few weeks to find you. I dont have ESP so please do this! Only do it if you want to wait longer and be on my sh*t list..
stuff it in and envelope and be patient!!! I know you are the internet generation and expect everything to be instant(thats why we always recommend online purchases!). but mail order is last century styles. it takes a LOT longer. about 3-4 weeks usually. it has to forward from my PO box to physical address. then we update your order status and process/ship as usual. And if its a check FUgedabout it. unlike a money order. you will have to wait even longer for the check to clear. Just dont bother. its just as easy to send a money order and if the check gets lost. someone will have your account number and then you might be vulnerable to fraud. unlike a money order where you keep the tear off receipt....You did keep it right? because if your money order is lost. you can call the number on the slip and find out some one got it and cashed it. if not and its just lost you will get a refund.
I think we are going to stop accepting checks though. they are archaic relics for elderly people.
Also. be sure to put your return address on the envelope!!!!!!Its so retarded but you wouldn't believe how many I get without them. If you dont and your letter gets routed wrong or returned. they will NEVER know were to put it. then it gets recycled.
BE SURE TO DO THIS TOO!!
Also, do not send cash.. we will return it. and return you to the 1800's
Of course you can generate the order the same. go to your local grocery store. get a pre-paid visa card for the total. call the number on the back to register your delivery address to it for online purchases. call us with your order number. and pay over the phone! if you call before two your order usually will ship that day! Also you will get to chat with an art primo girl and ask her to write your name in tag letters for your order. I recommend this method over money orders btw. its the new styles.
