The Internet has always been fertile ground for the activities of scammers and swindlers. Unfortunately, this is a fact. And therefore, our already naturally distrustful person was initially extremely skeptical about various online stores. However, new technologies have begun to penetrate our daily lives, and modern payment methods make it possible to protect both the buyer and the seller from the risk of loss.

One of these methods is cash on delivery. This is a payment system in which a person pays the cost of a completed purchase only after he receives the goods at the nearest post office or accepts them from the hands of a courier. For all that, the buyer has the right to refuse the order and not pay for it (it is advisable to inform the seller about the change in his decision). It would seem that in this case it is unprofitable for the other party to send products by cash on delivery. However, this is not the case, because the goods are returned to the seller intact, and in fact the costs are reduced only to the payment of courier services.

After the goodsis transferred to the delivery service, the seller is informed of a declaration with an individual number. The seller must inform the buyer of this code. To receive your order, the second person only needs to have a passport and a code.

Cash on delivery is a modern payment method that almost completely eliminates possible risks for all parties. The courier service, one way or another, receives payment for its work. The buyer, before paying for the goods, can make sure that it corresponds to the ordered one, that there are no defects, etc. And even in case of refusal, the seller's losses are minimized.

Most often, cash on delivery is used when sending expensive products. For example, it can be elite branded clothing or modern tablet computers. In this case, each party wants to be 100% sure that the transaction is reliable.

Cash on delivery is a type of payment practiced by most modern domestic online stores. Customers can receive notifications about the current status of their order by e-mail or directly to their mobile phone using SMS. As soon as the parcel is at the intermediary, it can be picked up.

Another important point is that the service may charge some percentage for mail transfer services. Traditionally, the Russian Post is used to send parcels. Cash on delivery here will include the cost of the product and its delivery, as well as an additional fee of 1 to 5% of this amount. Another popular service is New Mail. Cash on delivery here also includes a commission for processing money transfers (depending on the geographic location of the buyer and seller) and 2% for the transfer itself.

Thus, cash on delivery is a convenient modern method of paying for goods ordered via the Internet, which maximally protects the buyer from the risk of getting a "pig in a poke" and, at the same time, allows the seller to minimize possible losses without relying on customer integrity.
