Buying/Selling Alternative
i just wanted to post this as an alternative way of doing business on line when buying or selling items.
Collect on Delivery (COD)
Allows mailers to collect the price of goods and/or postage on merchandise ordered by addressee when it is delivered. COD service can be used for merchandise sent by First-Class Mail, Express Mail, Priority Mail, Parcel Post, Bound Printed Matter, and Media Mail. The amount to be collected from the recipient may not exceed $1,000. A delivery record is maintained by the USPS.
COD service may combined with Delivery Confirmation, registered mail, restricted delivery, return receipt, Signature Confirmation, or special handling for an additional fee. This service is not available for international mail or for mail addressed to APO and FPO addresses. COD mail must be presented to a retail employee at a post office or to a rural carrier.
Fees include insurance. Maximum amount is $1,000.

For Express Mail COD shipments, the COD fee is based on the amount to be collected. Express Mail insurance automatically provides up to $100 merchandise insurance.
Restricted delivery—$3.50 (not available with Express Mail COD)
Notice of nondelivery—$3.00
Alteration of COD charges or designation of new addressee—$3.00
Registered COD—$4.00 (fee for registered COD, regardless of amount to be collected or insurance value)
if the customer doesn't pay the sender will only be out of the postage/service fees and not the item.
if the customer pays the mail man then the money order is mailed out the next business day.
if the customer comes to the window and pays the money order is sent out the same day.
let me know if there are any other questions. i will look back on this post again later.
