Frequently Asked Questions

What is a COD courier service? +
A COD courier service allows businesses to ship products to customers who pay for the order at the time of delivery - instead of paying online in advance. The courier partner collects the payment and remits it back to the seller after a defined cycle. NimbusPost offers COD courier services across 29,000+ pin codes in India.
What is the difference between COD and prepaid shipping? +
In cash on delivery shipping, the buyer pays when the parcel is delivered - in cash, UPI, or card. In prepaid shipping, payment is completed before the order is dispatched. COD carries a slightly higher RTO risk, but opens up your store to buyers who are not comfortable paying online.
How fast does NimbusPost remit COD amounts? +
NimbusPost offers COD remittance as fast as T+1 business days from the date of successful delivery. You can track all remittances directly from your dashboard.
How does NimbusPost help reduce COD returns (RTO)? +
NimbusPost uses a combination of OTP verification, pre-delivery buyer confirmation, NDR management workflows, and intelligent courier allocation to reduce failed COD deliveries and improve your successful delivery rate.
Is there a minimum order volume required for COD shipping? +
No. NimbusPost has no minimum order requirement. Whether you're shipping 1 order or 10,000, you get access to the full COD courier service infrastructure.
Which courier partners support COD on NimbusPost? +
NimbusPost works with 25+ courier partners - including Delhivery, Blue Dart, Ekart, DTDC, Xpressbees, Shadowfax, and more. All major partners support cash on delivery across their serviceable pin codes.
