All I can say is fuuuuuck all of that.

I wonder why they didn't just wire the money?

There's no way there isn't more to this story. All the bank has to do is cancel a check, that's like a $25 fee to the customer at most.
Why wouldn't this have been wired? No way I'm sending a check that large and a wire is $25 for an unlimited amount as far as I know, cheaper then mailing the check.
This story is someone telling lies or not telling all the story.

Bank is on the hook for the money. Sue!

i would think in fact that they definitely could. went through a very similar deal just last week in fact. i donated 14k in the form of 2 cashiers checks from my bank, 1 for 12k and 1 for 2k. anyhow, they called and said they were sorry that they had washed the checks and could i re-issue them. the bank said that in this case they could only cancel and re-issue AFTER 90 days from the original date, as to insure that someone didn't try to double cash them or whatever.
ETA: its not my money out of pocket that I'm donating, its from a non profit event that i put on, just so i don't get the subtle brag posts...(but, it is one hell of a river party in arkansas that folks from all over the country come to, a lot from down there too)

I mean, it is TD Bank, not some small local bank.
Why not just have them open an account in your name and have them deposit the money in it?

For a $1000 check or something that's one thing to wait to see if someone cashed it, but you don't just deposit a $846k check without doing some fairly serious verification. I really don't see how worrying about it being "double cashed" is even a remote possibility.

The fact this person can't manage their finances is a separate issue.
Curious how fast they'll go through the money once they get it.

$846K and the guy couldn't be bothered to go pick it up? Gotta be an OT'er!

It's amazing what that'll push a company to do.

So they lost a cashier's check?
Why isnt the bank the bad guy here?
UPS will not insure cash, checks, money orders, etc., and the insurance is capped at $50,000 for goods. $850,000 is wire transfer money. frick a check.

#1 Should not have sent a draft, should have sent a check or wire transferred.
.
#2 should have purchased insurance at UPS. That's why they sell insurance. Looks like they went cheap and tried to avoid fees or the cost of a trip and got burned.
I don't feel sorry for them. If someone had $800,000 for me I'd be on a plane tomorrow.
