Lost money on a transaction

What about sending postal money order, isn’t it a felony in the USA when you go bad Ina deal with a postal money order?

Caveat, I’m a Canadian and don’t know.

Also Laysons made a comment on shipping and everything going via San Fran. I can vouch for that. I’m in western Canada and like a ten hour drive from Layson’s and if I ordered from them it goes south to San Fran, clears customs, then east all the way to Toronto, then west back to Alberta or bc. It’s dumb. And can, and usually does, take longer than usps and Canada post’s published delivery times.
