The Cash On Delivery (COD) is a convenient and safe payment method. In this payment method, the customer pays the money to the shipping carrier at the time of receiving the goods. The shipping carrier then transfers the money to the seller after deducting their service/handling fee. This payment method is often preferred by those who are not comfortable with online payments.
