49 U.S.C. § 13713 — Food and grocery transportation
submitted 31 years ago by Pub. L. 104-88 to r/title-49-TRANSPORTATION · 118 words · no verdicts yet
Grocery sellers using zone pricing may pay customers who pick up their own orders, as long as every customer gets that same offer and the payment doesn't exceed the seller's real delivery cost. Congress hopes sellers pass those savings on to shoppers.
(a) Certain Compensation Prohibited: No matter what other laws say, it's not illegal for a seller of food and grocery products, who uses a uniform zone-delivered pricing system, to pay a customer who picks up their own order at the seller's shipping point — as long as that payment is offered to all customers on the same terms, and doesn't exceed what delivery to that customer would actually have cost the seller.
(b) Sense of Congress: Congress believes that any money a customer saves this way should ultimately be passed along to the final consumer.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, it shall not be unlawful for a seller of food and grocery products using a uniform zone delivered pricing system to compensate a customer who picks up purchased food and grocery products at the shipping point of the seller if such compensation is available to all customers of the seller on a nondiscriminatory basis and does not exceed the actual cost to the seller of delivery to such customer.
It is the sense of the Congress that any savings accruing to a customer by reason of compensation permitted by subsection (a) of this section should be passed on to the ultimate consumer.
