C.O.D. mail orders

Unless there is a real need for C.O.D. service, we urge you to enclose money order

or check with your mail order, thus avoiding tbe extra expense of shipping C.O.D.

which would cause you to lose part of the savings in buying by mail from Sears.

On parcel post C.0.D. shipments, in additiorr to the price of the merchandise and

parcel post charges, you pay a C.O.D. collection fee which is an extra charge the

post office makes for handling C.O.D. shipments. The post office also charges you

a money order fee for forwarding payment to us.

We do not ship C.0.D. orders:-for mercbanclise that is cut, engraved, printed,

or made to special order; for merchandise that is shipped direct from one of our

factories; for merchandise to be shipped to foreign countries; for merchandise to

anyone other than the person sencling us the order; for seeds and perishable goods.
