subject: You Want To Send Your Grandpa's Watch To Your Brother Bill But You Want To Bill To A Third Party, Ca [print this page] You have a package that you want to ship to your useless brother Bill, who lives in Toledo. He has asked you to send him your grandfather's pocket watch. You know that he wants it to sell on Antiques Roadshow, but you can't prove it; however, grandfather left it to him in his will so there is nothing you can do about it. You don't, however, want to pay for the shipping, and he wants it delivered to the antique dealer in his town. The antique dealer will definitely not accept a cash on deliver package, and you're not about to pay for the shipping knowing that useless Bill will sell it, so is there a way for you to ship this package at Bill's expense?
Yes, you can send your package to the antique dealer that Bill desires and send the bill to Bill. On the package from the Bay Area courier service, there is a place to mark bill to a third party shipping. On that blank, you will fill in the name and address of your third party, in this case Bill. They will ask the telephone number and billing information. They will also require a customer number or a credit card number for this billing documentation. If you do not have a customer number, use your brother's phone number and they will call him to verify he will accept the package and the fee.
Just because your brother wants you to pay for his shipping fees does not mean that you are responsible for his habits and expenses. He will pay the shipping and handling on this package just like he has to pay for his other living expenses, that is what being a grown up is all about. He will likely sell grandpa's watch to the highest bidder, but you are not his keeper and cannot dictate his choices in life.
Each Bay Area courier service is a full service courier and offers primary billing, that is, billing to the shipper, secondary billing, or billing to the recipient and third party billing, as you desire to use for your brother Bill's get-rich quick scheme. Whatever means of billing you wish to negotiate, this courier service will get your package to your destination with a minimal amount of fuss or cost to you or the recipient. Your added bonus is knowing that you no longer have to pay Bill's miscellaneous expenses.
