    technically you could pay cash on delivery, at least for physical goods.

    Is COD even a thing anymore? I’d be surprised if there’s a real market for that, if for no other reason than a delivery person taking and carrying cash like that is a major target.

      Idk about delivery in particular, but my preferred way of paying for online goods is ordering to the online shop’s physical storefront, since not only does that allow cash, it is at no extra cost, unlike using mail, delivery services or lockers.

      Not every country out there has a violent society looking for the next easy target to rob.
