subject: Third Party Billing Of Shipments [print this page] We all have been using courier services for quite awhile, and most of us just opt for the Chicago delivery service. We opt for this service due to the confidence that this company has built up over a short period of time. There are very few companies who can match this trust building. For those who have been using courier services very regularly, the answer to whether third party billing is allowed must be clear.
Do you think that this kind of payment method will be acceptable to the courier company? A logical analysis of the question will definitely lead us to the answer to this. Most of us will be thinking that the courier company should not have any issues with this kind of payment until and unless the company is getting the billed amount. But what is the guarantee and surety that the company will receive the billed amount? Legally and morally there is no surety to this at all.
As a result, do companies allow this kind of third party billing? Most of the companies have a fair answer to this question in the form of a simple no. But there are companies like Chicago delivery service that might allow third party billing for a shipment. But it is solely at the discretion and judgment of the company to allow this type of method for shipment billing.
There are a lot of risks involved in this kind of billing method, and one has to really put in a lot of effort to chalk out the steps and procedures to ensure this kind of billing. It might happen that when the courier reaches the third party, he finds no one there to bill the amount or receive the shipment. It is also a possibility that the person that has been mentioned as a third party simply refuses to give the payment and shows no interest in the matter.
These are all possibilities that can occur during a third party billing, so this is why almost all companies do not offer such kind of service.
It is entirely at the discretion of the courier company if they provide third party billing to their regular clients who have been in touch with the company for a long time and have deposited a security fee as well. The security fee can be taken as a onetime measure to offer such service.
