Bob, I agree with you on this. The very first post made it clear that signing up put you in the hock for a $250 non-refundable deposit. Shit happens with schedules, and in this case, the cost of that is $250.

By the way, if you take cash or debit card to the Post Office, they will hook you up with the Money Order, a stamp, an envelope and an ink pen to complete the process. They will probably even help you make it all work.
