CONDITIONS.
The trade charge on any one parcel may in no case exceed £40, and the trade charge may not be cancelled or reduced after the parcel is posted. Parcels on which trade charges are to be collected must be posted at the General Post Office. If the insurance of a cash on delivery parcel is desired, the usual conditions for insurance must be observed.
The sender must furnish, on the cover of the parcel, or on a label affixed to the cover, his name and address and the word Rembourse- ment followed by the amount of the trade charge. These particulars may be furnished on the back of the parcel if there is no room for them to be shown clearly on the front. No erasure or alteration of the entry of the money is allowed. An incorrect entry must be completely obliterated and a fresh entry made.
The sender must fill up a special trade charge card with all the particulars required on the card, except the number of the parcel and those in the space headed Service Instructions. No erasure or alteration of the entry of the amount of the trade charge is allowed. If the sender desires to correct the entry of the amount he must make out a fresh card. The trade charge card will eventually be returned to the sender as a money order for the full amount entered on it and on the relative parcel by the sender.
The sender must prepay by means of postage stamps affixed to the parcel, a special cash on delivery fee of 20 cents, plus 10 cents for every $10.00 or fraction thereof.
thereof. This fee is in addition to the ordinary postage.
The parcel must be handed in at the General Post Office, where the sender must obtain a receipt of posting, the production of which may be required as a condition of payment of the trade charge money order.
DISPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS IN THE EVENT OF NON-DELIVERY
It is permissible for the sender to give instructions at the time of posting that the parcel is either to be treated as abandoned or tendered at a second address in the country of destination if it proves to be undeliverable at the first address. If the sender desires to avail himself of this facility, his request must be written on the parcel.
A request for delivery at a second address without payment of the trade charge, cannot be admitted. All undeliverable cash on delivery parcels, unless the sender has requested their abandonment, are returned to the sender at his expense without previous notification.
DELIVERY ABROAD
A delivery fee of 4d in addition to the amount of the trade charge, is collected from the addressee of a cash on delivery parcel addressed to Great Britain, and 15 cents for a parcel addressed to Malaya. The amount of the trade charge collected is remitted to the sender of the parcel without deduction.
