Can I Get A Refund On A Postal Order (UK)?

[helpmeout06]

I bought a postal order in order to purchase a passport, but I don't need it yet, I have had printed to pay the passport office, but I have not sent it, can I get a refund? I have the receipt.

This suggests not:

However this person's post suggests you may be able to if you go back to the PO you got it from

I suggest you call in at the PO and ask. Don't ring the PO phone number- you just paya fortune to listen to a few minutes of nothing.

I'm 100% sure you can get a refund (but not of the fee) if you take it back to a Post Office with the receipt.
