Postal orders can be cashed at all Guernsey Post branches from any of the countries listed above. If the postal order has been crossed then it can only be deposited into a bank account.
*There is no compensation available if postal orders are sent through the standard post except that provided for by the postal service used on condition that they are sent in accordance with those services requirements at that time. Postal orders sent in the post should be crossed with the intended recipient’s name to prevent anyone else being able to cash the postal order.
