UPS covered all COD money plus up to $100 of the driver's personal cash.

Then, they ask you to write the numbers out on the check and say, "why you use a reft hand?!?"

Pretty much, yeah. Another way to squeeze more money from a package.

The shipper does not trust the receiver and the receiver does not trust the shipper.

When i first started driving many years ago I got burned on a COD . I ran a training route when i first started driving that was called 'the Gauntlet',and every Rookie started on this route.it was a really Make it or Break It route and one had to bust ones arse to gain seniority . One business knew I was a young kid in a hurry and made a COD out for $70.10 instead of
$700.10. I hadnt made my seniority and paid the difference when teh COD error came in to avoid any negative attention drawn to me(it was a different time at UPS then)
I was only 21, VERY green behind the ears and should have called the police and/or the Union as well as Loss Prevention but at the time i just wanted the problem to GO AWAY. I really needed to make my 30 days.
It was a very good lesson as i have never ever gotten farked over again

Was only 1 of the ten cod? If so next time deliver the 9 and keep the cod pkg till next day. You are not required to get a check for entire shipment. Only the packages marked cod. Shippers try and skate past the surcharge per cod package.

If a shipper only puts a COD tag on 1 package they do it at their own risk. If the customer decides to keep the other 9 and refuse the 1 COD the shipper has to eat the loss.

i dont think it was known just how much cash drivers walked around with. I had an industrial route and in the 80's it wasnt uncommon at all to collect Seven or Eight Thousand dollars cash in a day.
shortly before UPS stopped taking cash we were instructed to purchase a Cashiers Check with the COD money of we had over $5,000 in collections.
It was often a big comedy trying to get to the bank and back on area so there were no missed pickups

Brokerage fees suck worse.

Trying to explain brokerage fees to someone who barely speaks English really sucks.

Sisyphus had it easy.
I agree with everything but the coming back the same day. One attempt per day. Now if the COD was only on one package, that is the only one that needs a check.

We can't charge much for it. I had a cod for $6.28. That would have included the shipping plus whatever the value of the actual item was.

COD's are like $10 a label.
I have one customer that only gets certified funds' COD's(cashiers check, money orders only)
He won't have the money when I first try to deliver, between 9:30-10:30, but wants to call me when does have it and have one of his drivers to get it from me, "sorry I don't use my phone at work"
Now he either has the money orders when I get there or he puts the packages on will call
remember you're only allowed 2 1/2 minutes per COD

I have an asian mom and pop store that gets cods almost every day. They literally jog across the floor of the store when I come in and promptly remove the invoice and start going about writing the checks and whatever they do to make sure they want the cod, but it takes at least 5 minutes per COD. If they were screwing around I'd leave but they show they value my time and are just slow.
