Question I purchased a timeshare on 9/22 in Hawaii and then changed my mind. Unfortunately I only had until 9/29 to cancel so we mailed the cancellation letter to the P.O. Box address. It just said cancellation notice must be received before midnight 9/29. Do you think that as long as it was post marked by that date it will be good? I live in CA and the P.O. Box is in Nevada, so they definitely would not receive it until a few days later.
Answer If you purchased in Hawaii, then Hawaiian Cancellation periods apply. For Hawaii it is seven days - your cancellation must be post marked within those seven days. It doesn't matter if they received it on the 10th (or 9th, or 12th, etc.) day after purchase - so long as the post mark is within the seven days. Once they receive it, they must refund all your money within 15 days.
The only issue - did you send it to the correct address to cancel? Double check. Otherwise you are safe. Good luck!
