Quick question: would you pay βΉ100 for a βΉ20 packet of Lays? Of course not β it's not worth βΉ100 to you.
COD works the same way. On a small order, cash on delivery can pile on βΉ100ββΉ150 of extra cost β nearly half the product's value β and you get nothing extra for it. Same product, just more money gone.
Why so much? Because COD costs the same to process whether your order is βΉ300 or βΉ3,000. With fuel prices climbing globally, our courier partners β Bluedart, DTDC, Delhivery, Ekart β charge more for COD: cash collection, handling, security, extra transport, failed-delivery returns, and 18% GST on top of all of it. On a low-priced product, that overhead hurts the most.
Here's the honest part: none of it benefits you, and none of it benefits us. We pay every rupee of it straight to the couriers β money that could instead go into lower prices and better products for you.
So when we ask you to pay online, we're not pushing you β we're trying to get you genuine value for your money. π
And if you'd still prefer COD, the choice is always yours. Thank you for shopping with us!
