Nope.

Not supposed to.

 

[OrionsBitch]

No.

What about a check that is dated correctly but in the comments the customer writes do not deposit until blah blah blah date?

That's fine.

It will be deposited upon receipt.

I had one of those once, didn't realize till I was back at the truck as they already had the check ready.

 

[OrionsBitch]

That's fine.

Can they scratch out a date and correct it?

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

Yup.

They have to initial any changes made.

Thanks for the advice. COD's scare the poss out of me because I always hear these horror stories of drivers getting stuck having to pay them.

No. If the check doesn't look right, don't take it or you will be on the hook. They can write whatever they want on the memo line.

The only time you would be on the hook would be if you took a personal or company check when you should have accepted certified funds only.

Customers can write whatever they want in the comments---all that we want is a date, check amount and signature.

I had a dress shop always write the deposit date in the comments section. Post-dated I have always refused.

Hell I lost a money order once. Lol

If the consignee post dates the check I would post date the delivery.

Who the heck gets COD's anymore?

Who the heck gets COD's anymore?

On my route? One stop---a "smoking" paraphernalia shop.

I write down the shipper and COD amount, deliver adjacent stops and he has the check(s) all ready.

Was worse when we had cash cod 's

The only bad thing about cash is you could lose it or get robbed....with checks there are so many ways to get scammed.

At least with cash, folks let me keep the change. A few bucks a day worth.
