EXPRESS RULES AND REGULATIONS

PACKAGE EXPRESS TARIFF AND SALES MANUAL

RATES, RULES, AND REGULATIONS

The Rates and Charges in this document are shown in dollars and cents and are payable in lawful United States money or its equivalent.

DETERMINATION OF APPLICABLE EXPRESS RATE ZONES:

The applicable Express Rate Zone will be determined by using the United States Postal Zip Code Prefix (first three (3) digits of the Zip Code) of the Origin Station and Zip Code Prefix of the Destination Station.

Determine the applicable Rate Zone from the Zip Code Rate Zone Tables in Section 2. Determine the rate by the weight of the shipment and the type of service using the appropriate Rate Table in Section 3.

PACKING, MARKING, LABELING, AND CONDITIONS OF ACCEPTANCE:

All shipments must meet the following minimum requirements:

? Unless otherwise specified, all shipments must be packed in containers made of material of durability and quality sufficient to withstand the handling, piling, and moving incident to transportation. This packaging must provide proper protection of shipment contents, and protection against damage to baggage or other shipments.

? Unwrapped shipments, or shipments not packed in containers will be accepted if they will not cause damage to, or be damaged by other shipments or baggage.

? Fragile items must be separated by corrugated partitions, individually wrapped in air-bubble plastic, Styrofoam sheets or pellets, excelsior, molded plastic or specially designed crepe wadding products. The interior must contain filler to prevent the fragile items from resting against or touching the exterior shell or another interior item. Clothing and bedding material, newspaper (crumpled or otherwise) are not adequate to protect fragile items in bus package express service. Fragile items include, but are not limited to, ceramics, plaster of paris objects, dishes, lamps, statues, pottery, glassware, stereo and electronic components.

? All packages which contain fragile or perishable articles must be plainly marked "Fragile" or "Perishable." ? The names and addresses of both consignee and consignor, plus shipping instructions must be plainly written, printed, typed,

or otherwise legibly shown on all express shipments. ? All lot shipments must be labeled as such. ? Additional packing, marking, and conditions of acceptance may apply to specific articles, commodities, materials, and

substances. These will be show in connection with each specific item. ? The contents and/or nature of a shipment must be identified by the shipper prior to shipment and must be identified on the

busbill, in sufficient detail to enable the carrier to ascertain, 1) that the shipment is acceptable in bus package express service, 2) that the shipment meets packing, marking, and labeling requirements, and 3) the amount of lawful rates and charges applicable. (Greyhound Package Express Agents may inspect a package at the time of shipment for the safety and security of our customers and employees. This inspection is not to verify proper packaging of the contents of the shipment. Proper packaging to protect the contents of a shipment is the sole responsibility of the shipper.) ? The carrier reserves the right to open and inspect shipments when it has reason to believe that such inspection is necessary to insure proper packing of the contents or to determine that the contents are not damaged. If damage is found at point of origin, the carrier reserves the right to refuse the shipment. ? The originating carrier reserves the right to refuse to accept shipments in an apparent damaged condition.
