receipt of the person who made the deposit. Particulars of
the refund must be entered on Form Acct. No. 210, and a
telegraph credit claimed from the Post Office Account. (See
Rules T. 145 and 294.)
CARRIAGE CHARGES.
-
For conditions of delivery and charges for carriage see Guide. When a telegram is for a place beyond the free
delivery, the sum prepaid for carriage must be signalled in the
instructions. If the amount is insufficient, the balance should
be collected from the addressee. -
When the sender wishes to pay carriage, and the
amount required is not known, a deposit should be obtained.
(See Rules T. 12 and 15.) -
If the sender guarantees that carriage will be paid by
the addressee, “Carriage guaranteed” should be written on the
back of the telegram, and signed by the sender, whose address
should be added. The instructions “Collect carriage” must
be inserted; but should the addressee refuse to pay, the amount
due must be recovered from the sender. When the sender
declines to pay carriage, or to give a guarantee, the word
“Post” should be inserted in the instructions. -
In all cases only the actual amount required must be
expended, and where the sum authorised is in excess a refund
will be arranged when the telegrams reach the Clearing-room. -
When a telegram is received requiring delivery by
special messenger, and upon which no carriage has been pre-
paid, a service telegram must be sent stating the amount re-
quired. If no reply be received before the despatch of the
next mail or delivery by letter-carrier, the telegram must be
posted. Carriage-paid telegrams may be delivered by telegraph
messengers after their regular hours of duty, but must not be
held over when a special messenger can be procured. -
When the expenditure for carriage amounts to 3s. or
upwards a receipt for the payment must be obtained and
attached to the office copy of the telegram.
STAMPS.
- All charges for transmission, carriage, postage, &c.,
must be accounted for by means of postage-stamps firmly
affixed to the forms, and in every case the smallest number of
stamps that will denote the charge must be used. When the
charges are for prepaid inland telegrams, senders should be
