Hi there,
I'm looking to sell some of my camera gear and some guy in Ontario is interested. If I agree to sell to him and send it C.O.D. is there any way I can get ripped off and not get my money?

I work for UPS, and I can't speak for the other companies, but its pretty standard across the board. The safe thing about COD is that the person will not be able to get the package unless he give the driver or mailman a check, which is then sent back to you.

The chances of being ripped off are very slim.

What if the cheque is cancelled or bounces?

I thought COD meant they had to pay in cash. If you are worried though, get the guy to send you a money order. Then cash that before you ship the product.

If you use Canada Post, you will get a money order from them. It's easy. The customer gets the notice for the pick up. They give the cash or pay debit to the postal outlet. The Postal Outlet then draws a postal money order and sends it to you. No chance you can get ripped off.

Through UPS you have two choices: Any Funds which means personal cheques etc...and Guaranteed Funds which means money orders and the like....
