What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
i recently bought a car on ebay for $6500 and paid a $3000 deposit immediately. i paid the rest with postal money orders. i purchased the money orders on jan 29th and mailed them out via express mail, which is guaranteed next day delivery. the post office lost the package containing the money orders and is now telling me that it is going to be 60 days before i can get them replaced. the problem is that i already have a non-refundable deposit of $500 for shipment f the car, and i signed a contract with the seller stating that i would have it paid in full by next weekend, and i dont have another $3500 to send him until the post office can reimburse me for the money orders that they lost. if i do in fact lose either of my deposits can i sue the USPS for causing me to lose this? thanks for any help you can offer.
