California - Collect-On-Delivery — required surety bond in California. Apply online in minutes.
A California Collect-On-Delivery (C.O.D.) Bond is a surety bond that guarantees a carrier or delivery service will properly handle and remit funds collected from a shipment's recipient. It serves as a financial guarantee that the transportation company will transfer all collected C.O.D. money to the original shipper as agreed.
Delivery companies, freight carriers, and courier services operating in California that offer collect-on-delivery options typically need this bond. Any transportation or logistics business handling recipient payments on behalf of a shipper may be required to secure it.
The obligee generally requires this bond to protect shippers from financial loss if the delivery service fails to pass along the collected funds. It holds the carrier accountable for honest business practices and ensures proper accounting of all C.O.D. payments.
