Cash on Delivery

Week 27.1 Cash on Delivery

First time COD, you don’t really know the seller thus you should be cautious. Inform your wife, girlfriend, parents, brother sister who are you meeting up with for what purpose.  Never bring your kid along during COD. Cash involved is quite high thus if there is a robbery the kid become a target.  Bring your friend along preferably guy as bodyguard-lah.

Try not to do it inside a car. If it is your car, the seller turn robber will drove off with your nice car. If it is his car, the seller turn kidnapper will drove you off and sell you to Hatyai if female. If you know the seller then it’s ok. I mean this is for the first time deal only.

Do the COD in some place where CCTV is already in place such as BANK ATM, shopping complex etc. Don’t ask them to send to your home or office unless you know the seller personally. A professional seller will not pester you for sales etc, they will respond mostly upon request or special reminder (for example you ask the seller to contact you when he got cheap goods etc).

Do it in a place where there are not so many people and not too little people.  Make sure you check your goods properly before you hand in the cash. Best way to hand in the cash is via ATM bank transfer.

For purchase of large item, it is always best to do COD instead of via the courier services. More advices available on personal basis, FOC for customer. Its’ not secure to explain everything in this blog.

If you have a secure place to do COD and it’s a repeated purchase, it always best to have some time off chatting over a cup of coffee or tea  and update each other on upcoming events. It’s a nice thing to do. Once finish chatting then only bring out the goods and cash to do the COD. I wish I could spend more time with each of them.
