Ever wondered why you’re hit with a ₹100 extra charge when you choose Cash on Delivery? Is it a hidden tax? A vibe penalty? A punishment for commitment issues?
Not exactly. But kinda, yes.
1. It’s Not You, It’s Logistics
When you pick COD, brands have to pay both ways if you ghost the delivery guy. That’s right - your canceled order takes a round-trip. And no, the courier company doesn’t do it for vibes.
Prepaid orders = one-way ticket.
COD orders = round-trip vacation nobody asked for.
2. The Courier Mafia Charges Extra
Not only do delivery partners charge MORE for COD (way more because they have to handle the cash), they also take longer to settle payments. Translation: we wait for days to get our money.
3. The Emotional Damage Tax (Totally Real)
We’ve had COD orders refused because:
-
“I changed my mind.”
-
“My mom said no.”
-
“I thought it would arrive in purple.” (???)
So yes, COD comes with extra… emotional baggage.
TL;DR:
COD is cool, but it costs us more. That ₹100 helps cover logistics, courier fees, and occasional heartbreak.
COD is expensive - emotionally and financially. Still love you tho. 🫶
Want to skip the fee + get 5% off? Go prepaid.
Your wallet (and our accountant) will thank you.
