Ours are part of the shipping label. We scan the barcode and it goes right to the COD screen. It does not yet auto fill-----we have to type in the amount-----and we still have to indicate if we collected a check or cash even though we are no longer allowed to accept cash.

Ours do also. We have to fill in the amount, whether it's secured or non secured funds and signers name. If a courier's Powerpad is connected to a printer it will generate a routing bar code label to place over the return address bar code. I'm probably leaving something out. It's been awhile.

I had a customer who used to run a screen printing business. She ordered everything COD and was always a pain to deal with. I suggested to her that she get a credit card just for the business and pay it off on a monthly basis. I also told her how much we charge per COD ($12.50). She had no idea and thankfully took my advice.

I get about 2 COD per week. Gets kinda annoying sometimes.

There's a hearing aide buisness on one of our routes that gets 4-8 cods a day
All kidding aside, as much a mess the politics in this country are, it really is the filthy bastards in Corporate America pulling the strings and writing the laws. So I guess it's not so ironic that FedEx is sponsoring V; CA is more than happy to blame government for all society's ills. My personal favorite is a sour economy because business doesn't like "uncertainty". WTF?!?! Business is to have no risk?!? Growth is to be a constant?! Your healthcare sucks because of Obamacare?!
No. No. No. No.
Corporate America has created a vortex designed to drive money to the top and keep it there. What better way to aid in that goal than to use the massive blob of big government boogeyman of hide behind? Maybe politics is horribly broken, but that doesn't mean capitalism isn't as well

IFC is one of the channels that we have to pay extra for with Charter.
I think all the people who are seeing huge rate hikes in 2017 would disagree with you about Obamacare. Even Bill Clinton called it a mess recently, which he shortly walked back from after Hillary tore him a new one.
Nope. I'm one seeing the rates go up. But it isn't the law forcing insurance companies hat have made billions for Obamacare causing the price increase. It's insurance companies completely motivated by quarterly reviews and stock price that insist upon insane returns.
Those insurance companies are fleeing Obamacare. You can't on the one hand require coverage for preexisting conditions, and on the other hand not have enough healthy young people sign up to help pay for those others, and expect premiums to do anything but rise. It's a mess, and one we can't afford.

They need to open it up for more competition by eliminating state border boundaries.
Not everyone makes what you make.

Will the pity party ever end?
The point is that things weren't great before Obamacare .
