You can get money orders at several convenient locations:
- Post Offices (USPS) : Available at any Post Office location nationwide. USPS money orders are widely accepted and reliable, with fees around $2.35 for amounts up to $500 and $3.40 for amounts up to $1,000
- Banks and Credit Unions : Most banks and credit unions sell money orders, often for a small fee. If you have an account, fees may be lower or waived. This is convenient as funds can be deducted directly from your account
- Retail Stores : Large retailers like Walmart sell money orders, usually for a fee not exceeding $1. Walmart partners with MoneyGram, Ria, and Western Union for this service
- Convenience Stores and Grocery Stores : Many convenience stores (e.g., 7-Eleven) and grocery stores offer money orders, often through Western Union or MoneyGram. These locations often have extended hours, making them accessible outside regular business times
- Western Union and MoneyGram Locations : These financial service providers sell and cash money orders at many agent locations, including inside CVS stores
In summary, you can get money orders at USPS post offices, banks, credit unions, big retailers like Walmart, convenience stores, grocery stores, and Western Union or MoneyGram agent locations. Fees and hours vary, so choosing based on convenience and cost is recommended
