courier pays the supplier

maithai · 14-06-2006, 03:51 AM

Is there a service couriers offer, wherby i (the buyer) pay them and they pay the seller on pickup?

With doing business on the internet, and sellers half way round the world, its not always easy to fly and meet them face to face.

I know i can enter into contracts, and set up credit facilities, but i ws just wondering if there were any courier companies that might do the above.

Do you mean COD (Cash on delivery)?

i think he does...any info?

I think he's talking about COD in reverse. The buyer arranges for pick up of a package and the delivery man pays the suppliers and takes the goods.

hi

no its not cod.

it would be more fob, but i want a courier to pay for the items when they are picked up. (if that makes sense).

The internet is a great place for business, there just seem to be so many companies that are willing to take your money and not send the goods, living on the fact that they are half way round the world and chances are you will never get your money back, even if you can take some legal measure.
