Cross-border e-commerce is booming in the world. Also, cash on delivery (COD) is becoming popular with the retailers and consumers. COD makes it easy, because people can order goods and then pay the money to the delivery-man upon receipt of the goods. COD is accepted across industries, but it is most popular in electronic products.

The most important issue for delivery agents in the e-commerce is the correct selection of the products. The delivery agents don’t have to care about SKUs, but to find the hottest products of the industry to make some quick bucks as soon as possible. From Tier2 European countries to Southeast Asia, and then to the Middle East, Hong Kong and Taiwan. The market goes through waves where one product is popular at one instant and another at other times.

COD also has a strong operating model, such as the advertisement shown in Malaysia below, which shows the products of the brand in the form of a carousel. The copy of the text has a bunch of contact information, and the intention of the guide is obvious.
