I went to Ace to pick up a quick money order. It was a lot cleaner on the inside than I expected. I only stopped here because the Food Lion money order machine was down and I needed to stay on my route due to a time constraint.
The fees to get a money order are kind of bizarre, especially if you want to use your debit card to purchase it, which most places let you do because it's 2023. Here, there's an additional $5 charge. I believe there's a fee scale for this charge on top of the $1.09-$3.39 fee for the money order plus the increase to even out the amount.
Despite feeling super ill about the excessive fees, customer service was decent. If you are in high need of a money order and the Food Lion machine is down and you cannot go to Kroger or elsewhere, then your place is Ace. read more
