What it is and who needs it.
What the C.O.D. bond actually guarantees
Georgia regulates household-goods movers as motor carriers under the Georgia Motor Carrier Act (O.C.G.A. Title 40, Chapter 1, Article 3) and the household-goods carrier rules (Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. Chapter 515-16-6). When a carrier collects payment on delivery — C.O.D. — it is holding a customer's money, and a bond stands behind it.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Georgia together with the shipping public (the protected parties). If a carrier collects C.O.D. charges and fails to account for or remit them, a harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Carriers who deliver and remit on time treat the bond as a filing formality, not a risk. The amount is fixed at $5,000, and the premium is fixed too: $100.
