Whenever a dispute arises as to the charges to be paid of the method of payment at time of delivery of the shipment, the carrier shall not withhold the entire shipment pending full payment of the bill of lading, but may retain no more of the property than is necessary to cover the amount of charges to be paid: provided, however, that among the goods delivered shall be included all items of life sustenance, beds, kitchen tables and chairs. If a non-binding estimate and order for service has been given as provided in section 814.3(a) of this Part, then payment of charges should be made in accordance with section 814.3(d) of this Part.
