Need advice on first time COD delivery

[barkingmad]

I am getting my first COD delivery tomorrow and have a blank usps money order ready. The sender says all I need to put on it is the company name, no address or anything. I assume filling out my address is not a worry, they know where I live, right? Any advice is appreciated.

I'll help! I used to do a lot of COD's. I would buy the money order from the post office. I never filled anything out in advance in case something went wrong with the order.

When it arrived I would simply fill in the name of the company to be paid and sign my name. No other info was ever required

BTW- the post office is good about refunding or "cashing out" money orders if you had to return it. As long as it was still blank you can basically sign it back to them and get your money back. I learned this the hard way.

@tadpol, thanks for the tip, sounds easy enough.

I had no idea COD was still an option for anything these days. Very good to know - I may hit you up for more info on this in the future @tadpol if that is ok!

@IGoeOn- Anytime. I haven't seen COD as an option for a good 6 months. But it used to be the only way I did things. Reduces risk. A lot.

I received my first COD letter today. Only filled in company name and my name. No addresses. Not sure why a pharmacy would offer this method of payment but ,in my opinion, easier than WU or MG.

I have done COD on numerous occasions and will third (or fourth) the notion of not filling it out until the deliveryman arrives.

It's damned hard to take back a money order that's been filled out, if something goes wrong and you end up not taking delivery. Also, if you wrote it out incorrectly, that could also be an issue. It only takes a moment more.

I like COD because I pay nothing until the product arrives at my doorstep.
