Money cash-on-delivery order
|
When using the Cash on Delivery service, the post office collects the amount specified by the sender from the recipient upon delivery of the shipment; this amount 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. Example of the Cash on Delivery service in international terms The sender fills out the “International Cash on Delivery Order” and submits it to the post office along with the postal consignment. The sender must mark the cash-on-delivery consignment with the note “Remboursement,” followed by the cash-on-delivery amount in both numerals 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. |

Requirements for Posting
- A postal money order can be submitted at any post office or to an authorized postal employee.
- The post office will confirm the submission of the money order amount to the sender on the receipt. This receipt takes the form of a mailing slip, which is part of the mailing document. The sender fills out the mailing document according to the pre-printed form.

The conversion is performed using the “selling rate” of the Czech currency against the conversion currency as announced by Československá obchodní banka, a. s., on the date of submission, and the exchange rate of the conversion currency against the currency in which the remitted amount is to be paid, as determined by the foreign postal service.
