You can send a call tag for the item and they will pick it up. You pay for the shipping up front, the driver shows up with the shipping label and picks up the package.
I don't know how that would work if you dont have a UPS account. Might want to call them and find out.

Stay away from UPS, they will bend you over on your desk and give it to you when your product arrives. 
I try and use USPS (US Post Office), not sure on COD for shipping charges though.

Fedex all the way man. They are so much cheaper then UPS and on larger items more then 3 pounds or so they are cheaper then USPS. They offer COD but it's an extra charge last time I checked it was only like 5$ or so. I shipped an transmission with them for like 75$ UPS wanted 130$ or so.

My understanding is that UPS really doesn't want COD type business any longer...Had issues with the drivers carrying cash. Think about it; it doesn't take too many COD deliveries before the drive might be carrying around 10G or so...
