2. If the shipment is not actually tendered for delivery, notice of arrival will be given to the consignee no later than the next business day following the arrival of the shipment.

A. The notice will normally be given by telephone. The notice, however transmitted, will specify the point of origin, the consignor, and the commodity and weight of shipment.

B. If mailed, the notice will be deemed to have been received by the addressee at 8:00 a.m. on the first business day after it was mailed.

3. For shipments consigned to private residences, as defined in Item 751, all notice of arrival shall be given in the manner described in Paragraph (2), unless prior delivery arrangements have been noted on the bill of lading by the consignor.

Undelivered Freight:

If ABF cannot deliver the freight through no fault of its own, the shipment will be subject to applicable storage or detention charges.
