C.O.D.

Read a random definition: United States Mint

A quick definition of C.O.D.:

Term: C.O.D.

Definition: C.O.D. stands for "Cash on Delivery" or "Collect on Delivery." This means that when you buy something with C.O.D., you agree to pay for it at the same time it is delivered to you. The person delivering the item will collect the payment and give it to the seller. With C.O.D., you usually can't inspect the item before you pay for it. Sometimes people also use C.O.D. to mean "Costs on Delivery" or "Cash on Demand."

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: C.O.D. stands for "Cash on delivery" or "collect on delivery." When a buyer agrees to this delivery term, they agree to pay for their purchase at the same time it is delivered to them. The carrier (the company delivering the item) acts as the buyer's agent to receive and transmit the payment to the seller. With C.O.D. contracts, the carrier usually does not allow the buyer to inspect the item before payment.

There are a few different meanings for C.O.D.:

  1. Cash on delivery; collect on delivery. By consenting to this delivery term, the buyer agrees to pay simultaneously with delivery and appoints the carrier as the buyer's agent to receive and transmit the payment to the seller. With C.O.D. contracts, the practice of carriers has traditionally been to disallow inspection before payment.
  2. Costs on delivery.
  3. Cash on demand.

Example: If you order a new couch and choose C.O.D. as your delivery option, the delivery person will bring the couch to your house and collect payment from you at the same time. You won't be able to inspect the couch before paying for it.

Example: A small business owner might use C.O.D. as a way to ensure they get paid for their products. They can ship their products to customers and require payment upon delivery, so they don't have to worry about customers not paying them.

These examples illustrate how C.O.D. works and how it can be used in different situations.

Minus those random R decisions from UMN yesterday though right? I wonder what happened there. I don’t think I’ve seen a school start the season out with anything but As on here
almost all of my apps have been UR for 6 weeks at this point I feel exhausted waiting for them to finish
Irvine is being snobby and wont start any review until end of Nov.
Yeah, it’s tough. I’m distracting myself by playing good video games after work :)
im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years

I mean if Fordham doesn't release today I will purposefully get on a train, go to new york, and then take the stinkiest shit inside the admission office's toilet (potentially clogging it and forcing them to get a plumber)
