postal money order question

As to being able to put a stop on a postal money order, I don't think you can do this. I mailed a postal money order a couple years back to pay for an item, and it never arrived, having got lost in the mail. I went to the post office, and they told me, that I had to wait a certain amount of time (I believe somewhere between 30 and 60 days) from when it was purchased to fill out a form to be able to get your money back. The post office would then research to make sure the MO wasn't cashed, and I got my money back in check form about a month later. The other important thing, was that the post office required both the Top stub from the money order, and the original post office receipt for when you purchased it to do this. Lose either and I am pretty sure you would be SOL.
