Money cash-on-delivery order
When using the Cash on Delivery service, the post office collects the amount specified by the sender from the addressee upon delivery of the consignment, which will be paid to the sender in cash (for Z/C) or via bank transfer to a designated account (for Z/A). The cash-on-delivery amount may not exceed the maximum permissible amount specified in the Postal Terms and Conditions of Česká pošta, s.p. – International Terms and Conditions, and is paid to the sender in Czech crowns.
The sender must complete the "International Cash-on-Delivery Form" and submit it to the post office along with the mail consignment.
NOTE: There are currently two valid versions of the International Cash-on-Delivery Form. You can find both completed versions in the preview.
The sender must write “Remboursement” on the cash-on-delivery consignment, followed by the cash-on-delivery amount in both numbers and words, in the currency specified by the international terms and conditions. Any blank spaces next to the amount must be crossed out so that nothing can be added later.
