A COD (cash on delivery order) typically means we, The Wishing Chair, first undertake the cost of the process of delivering the COD products to the customer - the cost of packaging, logistical coordination, shipping, handling - is spent without any guarantee that the customer on the other end will be around to receive the product and pay cash. The return of any high value products (which would have a turnaround time of at least 10 days to get back to us) would mean a large transportation cost and lost time for when we can potentially put the high value stores back on our shelves for sale - and therefore ends up incurring a very large loss to us as a small business. That’s why we try and cap COD orders to INR 8000.
