UPS has changed its COD policy. UPS drivers stopped accepting cash for COD packages. \n UPS drivers will accept cashiers checks, money orders, official bank checks, or similar banking instruments for the exact amount of the COD package. \n "A lot of people think COD' stands for "Cash On Delivery,'" a UPS spokesperson told AVN. "It means Collect On Delivery." \n "The good thing is that UPS will be able to return collected funds to shippers as much as three days faster. Also, of course, there's the safety factor for our drivers, who won't be carrying large amounts of cash." \n Producers and manufacturers we spoke to were unanimously indifferent to the change in UPS policy. \n "I don't see a problem," said VCA's Russ Hampshire. "I don't deal with stores. My customers are distributors." \n "It's not going to affect us, because we only deal with people we know," Jeff Steward, general manager of Legend Video, told AVN. "We don't open too many new accounts. We stick with the same people." \n Dexter at Fat Dog concurred. When asked if it would affect their business, Dexter replied, "I don't think so." \n Video stores, on the other hand, were very concerned about the new UPS policy. \n "It sucks," said Jay at Pleasure Plus Video in Saddle Brook, NJ. "If the distributor doesn't tell us what the charges will be, we have to send it back and wait a week for it to come again. It adds a lot of hassle." \n "That would be a problem," said Diane Russell at Video Action in Savannah, GA. "Our main office is across town. If it has to go back to UPS, it goes back to the shipper in three days. I'm not going to be happy, and the other stores aren't going to be happy. I'm going to have to tell Eddie [my UPS driver] we don't have happy campers here." \n "It's not a problem for us, because most of our CODs are checks anyway," said Machelle Morgan, manager of a franchised Mr. Movies in Cedar Rapids, IA. "We keep very little cash around. If you do it that way, [the new policy] could be a real inconvenience, I can see that."
