    (a) Delivery is accomplished when a shipment is placed aboard the 
vehicle of the initial carrier. The time of delivery is the date 
shipment is released to and accepted by the initial carrier.
    (b) Shipment is normally under Government bills of lading. However, 
for small orders, ordering offices may specify other shipment methods.
    (c) When shipments are under Government bills of lading, the bills 
of lading may accompany orders or be otherwise furnished promptly. 
Failure of an ordering office to furnish bills of lading or to designate 
a method of transportation may result in an excusable delay in delivery.
    (d) JWOD participating nonprofit agencies shall include 
transportation costs for small shipments paid by the nonprofit agencies 
as an item on the invoice. The ordering office shall reimburse the 
nonprofit agencies for these costs.
