neither the sender nor the addressee, nor duly authorised by either, or if the sender fail to remit the charges due on the parcel, it must be dealt with as an undelivered parcel and forwarded to the Dead Letter Office.

  1. When parcels are refused by the addressees the senders should be at once communicated with on Form P.P. G., and the parcels dealt with as described in the two preceding rules.

  2. Particulars of any parcel destroyed must be entered in the Returned-parcel Record, and the facts reported.

  3. A list giving the addresses and describing the contents of all parcels which have remained in the chief post-offices for three clear months must be forwarded to the Inspector on the first of each month, who will give instructions as to their disposal.

  4. On the first of each month the Postmaster must make a careful examination of all parcels in his office and satisfy himself that everything is in proper order. He should also at frequent intervals personally supervise the parcel-work with the view of detecting or preventing irregularities.

INSURANCE OF PARCELS.

  1. Insurance of parcels is a system of compensation for loss or damage of parcels (which for convenience is called “insurance”) applicable to inland parcels and to parcel-exchanges with the United Kingdom, India, Ceylon, and certain other countries.

  2. The necessary forms consist of—

Parcel-insurance Certificate, C. & F. P.P. 22. (For use at permanent offices.)

Parcel-insurance Certificate, C. & F. P.P. 23. (For use at sub-offices.)

Label, C. & F. P.P. 25. (For use at all offices.)

The forms are all self-explanatory.

  1. Parcels tendered for transmission under this system should comply with the general regulations relating to insured parcels published in the Guide; and it is the duty of officers, before accepting any parcel for insurance, to see that such regulations have been complied with, and that postage-stamps for the correct amount of postage and insurance fee are affixed. Should an insured parcel be insufficiently prepaid, the officer who insured the same must pay the amount of the deficiency.

  2. On a parcel being accepted for insurance, a Parcel-insurance Certificate must be issued to the sender or his representative free of charge.
