Origami House didn't steal my money
Well I ordered the book the works of satoshi kamiya. I sent my money order expecting to get a book in a couple days. A couple days later I get an email saying I sent the wrong kind of money order. They said they would send the old one back when I sent them a new money order. The problem is I don't have another $50. Also I don't feel comfortable sending them another order. I don't understand how i could have sent the wrong one. I went to the post office saying I need an international money order that I can send to Japan. The post office said "Only Mexico excepts international postal money orders, Japan excepts this kind." So i took my post office's advice and got the kind they suggested.
I have emailed them telling them my problem and i didnt get a response.
Even if I did get another $50 I dont know if i can cash the old one. The big bummer is this was for my 18 birthday and now I dont get anything.

1. The postal worker you talked to was wrong. Almost all countries accept postal money orders, including Japan. I don't know what sort of money order you ended up buying, but you can blame the postal worker for screwing it up.
2. The Origami Tanteidan convention is coming up shortly. Normally, the Origami House staff is heavily involved in the preparations, and will be difficult to contact at this time. I'd suggest giving them a chance to recover from convention before you accuse them of stealing.
3. Why didn't you make use of June Sakamoto's service to order from Origami House? She makes it much easier than trying to deal with OH directly (what with language barriers and all). Again, you might have better success talking to her about it. She's also in Japan for the OT convention, so you'll need to wait until after the convention to contact her. If you don't have her email address, contact me privately and I'll give it to you.

maybe you're only bad informed? you should have asked first and then send the money in the way the want it. it's not nice to call them thieves without knowing all the facts, maybe they're really very busy?

since this is an international forum, it's VERY UNPOLITE to write in the manner you did. maybe not everybody will understand you abbreviations. please write correct sentences in the future. thanks

Hello OrigamiDan.
I understand your situation but I think it's offensive to use the words your way. Nothing is absolute so many things may happen during the transfer,I hope you understand this. Though I'm very lucky to have friends bring me
books from Orihouse directly and I don't have to order,but I understand the postpone or late arrival of some magazines.
