Why not cash on delivery?

When shopping online, many customers choose Cash on Delivery as an option, which can be a life saver in times of emergency.

But,

1. Prepaid orders get processed faster as they do not require any verification. To filter out fraudulent orders we have to call customers or send them SMS for confirming genuine COD orders. This causes delays in processing a COD order and leads to late shipments, besides increasing costs.

2. COD increases risk of infection since the customer needs to make physical payment using currency notes. It is certainly avoidable in current times when coronavirus is causing havoc worldwide.

3. COD deliveries are not available in certain pin codes, especially in the remote areas. We work with more than 25 courier partners in India including Delhivery, Ekart, Xpressbees, Ecom Express, Bluedart, FedEx, Shadowfax and Dunzo. Together, they cover more than 27000 pin codes all over the country. However, in our experience, almost all of them seem to have stopped COD deliveries during lockdown to several pin codes in Manipur, Mizoram, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh, Tripura, Assam, Jammu and Kashmir. COD is also not offered in Andaman & Nicobar Islands.

4. Prepaid orders are still getting delivered to most of these states. The reason is obvious – shipping partners need elaborate infrastructure and safety measures to ensure that collected COD money is captured accurately till the time it gets paid back to us.

So, go ahead, and choose to pay for your next newlycars order using your debit card, credit card, net banking, UPI, mobile wallet or any other prepaid method. 
Your prepaid order contributes to helping grow the economy sustainably.
