What is TCS COD (Cash on Delivery)?
TCS COD (Cash on Delivery) is a payment collection service offered by TCS Express that allows e-commerce sellers and businesses to ship products to buyers who pay at the time of delivery. The TCS rider collects the payment from the receiver and TCS remits it to the seller's bank account after deducting a small commission.
COD is the most popular payment method for online shopping in Pakistan, with over 70% of e-commerce transactions using Cash on Delivery. TCS is the preferred COD partner for thousands of online sellers on platforms like Daraz, Instagram shops, Facebook Marketplace, and independent websites.
