CORRECTED BILLS OF LADING/COD CANCELLATION/CHANGE IN TERMS – DIRECT SERVICE

Any changes made to the original bill of lading will be subject to an additional charge of $25.00 each time a change is made at the request of Shipper and/or Consignee.  Changes shall include, but not be limited to shipment terms, description, weight, etc.  This charge shall be in addition to all other charges and will not be subject to discount, loading or unloading allowances.  All changes must be in writing in the form of a letter on the Shipper’s letterhead, or a Corrected Bill of Lading.  No changes will be accepted that increase carrier’s liability regarding loss or damage.

Changes to shipment terms, shipper, (origins and destinations included) description, pieces and/or weight can be made by the Shipper (Shipper) within thirty days after the shipment has been accepted by the Carrier.

Prior to delivery of a shipment, changes in the collection status (prepaid or collect) of a freight bill will be permitted upon receipt of a corrected bill of lading from the shipper.  After a shipment has been delivered, requests for reversal of charges must be received in writing by the party (shipper or consignee) assuming responsibility for payment.  Reversal of charges will not be allowed after payment has been received based on the terms (prepaid or collect) of the original bill of lading.  Instructions to add, change or delete a third party to a freight bill may only be accepted from the shipper and only before payment has been received based on the terms of the original bill of loading.  The new debtor must have established credit with carrier. 

A charge of $30.00 per shipment will be made for adding a COD, increasing, reducing or canceling the COD amount. Such charge will be in addition to the COD collection fee, if any, and must be guaranteed by the consignor in writing.

Corrected bills of lading will not be accepted on COD shipments.  Corrected bills of lading may not be accepted when submitted more than 15 days after delivery date.
