Cash or COD - security and the seller and the customer

Times change, changing technologies and processes, methods and ways of earning their pay.Twenty years ago, mankind has not been able to think that, without leaving your home, you will not only work, but also to pay for services, buy clothes, furniture, portable equipment, accessories and even products.Now, for the calculation of utility services, communications and the Internet does not even have to get up off the couch - there is the possibility of electronic payment.

Purchases of goods from near and far abroad is also possible via the online payment.This creates many opportunities for fraud: payment of the purchase, the customer is not always receives it.Therefore, the post-Soviet space, in particular in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus, developed mail system, allowing to pay the parcel in its delivery - the so-called cash or COD.It is understood that the goods are delivered within the country.

When used cash or COD when sending parcels, perform a number of requirements:

1. To forward the valuable goods and items must show the sender by e-mail list, which lists all the positions of the goods placed in a box.At the same time she presented a reconciliation posting in the clear.Thus, in the place where the parcel begins its journey, know that it is;

2. Sent Items mail COD with the presence of the inventory they can not be opened until all cash payments between the post office and the buyer.Even after paying an autopsy parcel occurs in the presence of an authorized mail the person whom may be the postman.This process makes it impossible fact of fraud on the part of the recipient.Until 2005, it was possible option: upon delivery, implying cash or COD, the customer opened the cargo in a secluded corner, got the goods and innocently said, that the box did not.Naturally, the mail will not be charged with any means swindler and send parcels back where disappointed met cheated by the seller.As a result - the seller did not receive any money or your goods.A fraudster, the buyer retains money and acquired free the desired product;

3. Cash or COD also protects the rights of consumers who suffer from careless sellers.For example, when entering the destination post office parcel contains an inventory of the goods with you inside it.Therefore, if a person is ordered, for example, clothing, on the inventory should be noted - "clothes on delivery".If the inner contents of the inventory does not match or damaged, the customer returned the money.And if the inventory noted that the box contains the nails, and the buyer ordered the book, he has every right not to pay.

Thus, parcels sent COD meets the interests of all parties.At the same time, protecting their interests, post cares about customer satisfaction.It should be noted that payment for parcel, sent this way will include the cost of services the postal carrier.But it's clearly worth it to not waste the health and nerves in the search for the perpetrators in the fraud.
