Cash on delivery (COD), sometimes called collect on delivery, is the sale of goods by mail order where payment is made on delivery rather than in advance. If the goods are not paid for, they are returned to the retailer.〔(Cash On Delivery – COD ) ''Investopedia'', 2013. Retrieved 28 December 2013.〕 Originally, the term applied only to payment by cash but as other forms of payment have become more common, the word "cash" has sometimes been replaced with the word "collect" to include transactions by checks, credit cards or debit cards. ==Advantages and disadvantages for retailers== The advantages of COD for online or mail order retailers are: *The customer does not need to own a credit card to purchase *Impulse purchases may increase as payment is not due at the time of ordering *The credibility of retailers may be increased because the consumer only has to pay when the item is delivered The principal disadvantage for retailers is that many more orders will be returned as buyers are less committed to the purchase than if they had paid in advance. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cash on delivery」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
