COD Risk & Return Management
Cash-on-Delivery (COD) business models suffer from high return-to-sender (RTS) rates. Common in emerging markets and high-risk regions where customers default payment.
Each RTS order costs you: full refund + reverse shipping + sunk product cost. This compounds quickly; a 15% RTS rate can halve profitability.
Strategy: Price COD products 20-30% higher to absorb RTS losses. Negotiate better reverse shipping rates. Use prepayment options (digital payment, partial advance) to reduce RTS risk.
