Why We Don’t Offer Cash on Delivery—and Why It’s Better for You!

Online shopping in India has transformed how we buy everything, from electronics to clothing. But one thing remains a hot topic: Cash on Delivery (COD). While COD has been a go-to option for many customers, it isn’t always the best choice for either shoppers or businesses.

At The TSHRT, we’ve decided not to offer COD. Instead, we’ve embraced secure online payments to provide a smoother, more transparent shopping experience. Wondering why? Let us explain.

The Challenges of COD for Customers

While COD might seem convenient at first glance, it often creates more hassle than ease:

1. Unnecessary Waiting Time: You need to be present at the delivery address with the exact cash when your order arrives. Life gets busy, and a missed delivery means delays, rescheduling, or canceled orders.
2. Extra Charges: Many e-commerce platforms add a COD handling fee to the final bill. This hidden cost often makes your purchase more expensive than necessary.
3. The "Change Problem": We've all been there—the delivery executive doesn’t have the exact change, which can turn a simple delivery into an awkward cash juggling act.
4. Less Secure for You: Handling cash at delivery can be unsafe, especially when large amounts are involved. Online payments offer a much safer alternative.

The Challenges of COD for Businesses

COD is not just inconvenient for customers—it also adds layers of complexity for brands like ours:

1. Higher Operational Costs: COD orders require more resources for cash collection, accounting, and coordination with delivery partners.
2. Increased Return Rates: Many COD orders are canceled or refused upon delivery, resulting in wasted shipping costs and unsold inventory.
3. Delayed Payments: Unlike online payments, COD transactions involve delays in transferring funds back to the business, affecting cash flow.

By avoiding these inefficiencies, we focus on delivering high-quality products to our customers without inflating prices.

The Rise of Online Payments in India

In recent years, more Indian shoppers have embraced digital payments. Platforms like UPI, credit/debit cards, and mobile wallets make transactions fast, secure, and hassle-free.
Here’s why online payments are a smarter choice:

• Instant Confirmation: Payments are processed in seconds, allowing us to ship your order faster.
• Secure Gateways: Encrypted payment systems ensure your financial data is always protected.
• Easy Refunds: If you’re eligible for a return, online payment refunds are quicker and seamless.

Why The TSHRT Doesn’t Offer COD

Our goal is simple: to provide a smooth and trustworthy shopping experience. By not offering COD, we can:

• Focus on Product Quality: With reduced logistics challenges, we dedicate more time to designing and delivering premium cotton t-shirts.
• Avoid Hidden Costs: No COD charges mean better value for our customers.
• Streamline Operations: Faster payments mean faster order processing, so you get your t-shirts sooner!
