Consignee’s Checks in Payment of C.O.D.s: Unless instructions to collect a
cashier’s check or money order only are shown on the C.O.D. tag (in
conformity with the instructions on the tag) or system- generated label, UPS
will accept a check or other negotiable instrument issued by or on behalf of the
consignee. When instructions to collect a cashier’s check or money order only
are clearly indicated on the C.O.D. tag or system- generated label, UPS reserves
the right to accept a cashier’s check, money order, official bank check or other
similar instrument issued by or on behalf of the consignee. All checks or other
negotiable instruments (including cashier’s checks, official bank checks,
money orders and other similar instruments) tendered in payment of C.O.D.s
will be accepted by UPS based solely upon the shipper assuming all risk
relating thereto including, but not limited to, risk of non-payment, insufficient
funds, and forgery, and UPS shall not be liable upon any such instrument. All
checks or other negotiable instruments (including cashier’s checks, official
bank checks, money orders and other similar instruments) will be transmitted
to the shipper together with UPS’s own check if consignee check(s) collected
are for less than the C.O.D. amount. Remittances (checks, money orders, etc.)
received that are less than the C.O.D. dollar amount indicated by the shipper
will be reimbursed for the full amount unless the variance of the amount
remitted is less than $1.00.
