The need to send parcels by cash on delivery most often arises at online stores or those who trade in catalogs, as one of the methods of delivery and payment of the ordered goods. The buyer pays it upon receipt, and you receive the money by postal order or in a bank account.
You will need
- - packaging of the shipment (bought at the post office or otherwise);
- - address of the recipient;
- - calculation of the full value of their costs.
Instruction manual
1
To send the package on delivery, you will have to contact the nearest post office. Mailings are accepted packaged, except for cases of sending with a list of attachments. You can do this either at home or in the office, in the warehouse, etc., or directly by mail. Boxes of various sizes are also sold for packaging parcels and other items with the provided fields for the addresses of the recipient and sender.
2
At the post office, ask the department employees for the cash on delivery form. Fill it out, indicate the amount of payment.
Your costs for mail services will depend on the amount of cash on delivery and the distance to which the package is sent. Calculate how much this amount should be, so that in the end you do not receive the cost of the goods you send or even less. If necessary, consult with mail staff.
3
Choose a method of receiving money: by postal order or to a bank account, for example, an entrepreneur or legal entity. Depending on your preferred option, enter the address or bank details in the required field.
The option of accepting money into an account is preferable for business entities that do not use a cash register. Upon receipt of money through the bank, they will definitely not have questions from the tax authorities.
4
An inventory of investments in such items is optional, but desirable. If you prefer to be safe from possible excesses, fill out the blanks and assure when handing over the parcel to the operator of the post office. One copy of the inventory remains with you, the other inside the package will go to the addressee.
The operator can also help you seal the package.
5
Having accepted the parcel and payment for the mail services, the operator is obliged to issue a receipt to the sender. Keep it until you receive money.
note
When sending goods by cash on delivery, the risk is very high that the recipient simply will not come for him: forget, do not receive a notification, change plans or financial capabilities during the time the package was sent. In this case, you will receive your shipment back, and no one will return the cost of mail services for its delivery.
When the recipient pays for the goods, the money can go to your account for several weeks.
So it will not be superfluous to think hard about whether it is worth including the delivery of goods by cash on delivery in the list of available delivery and payment options.
