I have considered using Sherri's method myself because of the same reasons she states...but have been too chicken to jump in and just do it.
I can see that it might be harmless...If Fedex or UPS does not ship a package, it does not bill out to my invoice - in *my* experience. I would assume this would be true for lenders and title companies.
If you are given an account number to use, I can see this would be easier to track from your own perspective.
And, sometimes the other end can make a mistake...put the wrong address on the airbill...the other day I recieved and used a pre-made airbill which the Title company included for the return.
UPS called me and said it was undeliverable. With UPS on the phone, I used my cell phone to call the title company, and sure enough, they had put an old address on the airbill. My instructions had the correct shipping address on it, but the airbill created by the title company that hired me was wrong. I never thought to check their airbill against the instructions. Sherri's method would fix this problem.
BTW - the wrong address on the airbill delayed the shipment by a day. |
