I received a money order and didn't cash it within 90 days??

my friend sent me a money order to support me on a 6 month trip i was going on to malaysia. he sent it in the mail, but it didn't arrive until the day after i left. so i just borrowed the money, planning to cash the money order once i got home. i just returned home and went to cash it and saw that it said, "void after 90 days" on it. being in asia from canada, there was obviously no way to cash it. what do i do with it now? i can't afford to just lose the money! is there a way for my friend or i to get the money back? i'm not sure if he still has his receipt, but the money order is of course signed. thank you!

    Yes, this happened to me once. you will have to contact the Issuer. look on the back of the Money Order and there should be a company name and customer service information. you will have to contact them and send in a form explaining what happened and they should issue you a refund through the mail. this should be done by the Remitter/Purchaser....good luck.
