Reconsignment

For the purpose of this Service Condition, the term "reconsignment" is considered to mean:

• A change in the name of the Consignee or the Shipper;
• A change in the destination city;
• Relinquishment of the shipment at the point of origin; and
• Relinquishment of the shipment at an intermediate point while in transit.

Requests for reconsignment are subject to the following conditions:

• The request must be made or confirmed in writing;
• The party making the request must have the authority to do so;
• RUSH will make a diligent effort to comply, but will not be responsible or liable if the service cannot be performed;
• All charges applicable to the shipment must be paid or guaranteed to the satisfaction of RUSH before the service is performed;
• If the shipment is reconsigned outside the RUSH system, RUSH will return the shipment to the originating RUSH station or release it to an agent of the Shipper's choice

Charges for reconsignment are as follows:

• If reconsignment results in a change in the name of the Consignee with no change in the place of delivery, or in the place of delivery within the original destination point, there will be no charge;
• If reconsignment results in a change in the destination point or split into multiple destination points before or after tender or delivery, the shipment will be assessed an additional $25.00 fee per transaction and will be assessed tariff rates to and from the reconsignment points;
• If the Shipper elects to have the shipment released to an agent other than the one shown on the Airfreight Waybill, there will be no charge; and
• If the Shipper elects to have RUSH return the entire shipment to the originating RUSH station, the shipment will be assessed tariff rates from the reconsignment point to the originating RUSH station.
If, at the Shipper's request, the release, reroute, split or termination is effected, RUSH will assess an additional fee of $35.00. If the release, reroute, split or termination requires total or partial unloading of equipment, RUSH will assess an additional fee of $250.00.
