Sending UMS-COD via Pak Post

Here in the steps below, I’ll tell you how to send a COD (Cash on Delivery) parcel via National Post:

1. Pack your item(s) securely and make sure to include all necessary paperwork (like invoices, receipts, etc.).
2. Visit your nearest Post office and ask for a COD or VPP shipment form. Complete the form with accurate data from both parties (sender and receiver).
3. It will include the name, address, amount payable, and your own contact numbers.
4. Pay the booking fee at the counter. The cost will vary depending on the weight of your parcel and the delivery location.
5. The postal worker will give you a receipt and attach a COD label to your parcel. Make sure to keep the receipt in a safe place until you receive its amount or Money Order.
6. When the recipient receives the parcel, he will be required to pay the amount. The postman will collect the payment and issue a return money order for you.
7. You’ll get the parcel’s payment within the next 5-7 working days.

You can get this form from your local postal office. It will cost you only Rs.1/-. See the picture of the paper and then follow these instructions to send someone a package.

• Amount: Write the amount in rupees and then in words. For example, (500/- & five hundred rupees only.)

• Sender Name: Now, write the name of the parcel receiver. Meanwhile, he is the sender of the payment.

Don’t write anything else on the paper except the highlighted rectangular area. The staff will fill in the remaining required blanks.
