- protomyth 6y agoIt's easier to go to Walmart and get a MoneyGram money order. I would imagine that is the biggest competition. I'm also pretty sure Walmart is cheaper.
- toomuchtodo 6y agoWalmart money orders are about $1 cheaper than USPS money orders, but there are geographies where USPS is more convenient than Walmart for purchasing or cashing said money orders (my local post office is closer than a Walmart, for example). Also, USPS money orders never expire. Those from other providers start to incur fees after a duration of time.
