Quick question: would you pay ā¹100 for a ā¹20 packet of Lays? Of course not ā it's not worth ā¹100 to you.
COD works the same way. On a small order, cash on delivery can pile on ā¹100āā¹150 of extra cost ā nearly half the product's value ā 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 ā¹300 or ā¹3,000. With fuel prices climbing globally, our courier partners ā Bluedart, DTDC, Delhivery, Ekart ā 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 ā 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 ā we're trying to get you genuine value for your money. š
And if you'd still prefer COD, the choice is always yours. Thank you for shopping with us!
