It took 2.5 weeks to get a check from UPS and I've stayed away from UPS/COD ever since. Fed/Ex is the best if you can afford it. Another alternative I've used for COD less than $1k is USPS which it takes about one week to collect.
UPS COD, Prepare to WAIT
I sent equipment UPS COD and it was delivered on 7/21, driver collected a cashier's check for in execess of $4000 made out to me....called UPS today to see where it was and learned they have been "processing" it and mailed it to me today.....should have it in another 4 to 7 days....they couldn't explain what they had been doing with it for the last week....anyone else had this experience with UPS?...Fed Ex sends it back to you by Fed Ex and you have it in two days...guess I've learned which to use in the future.
