Maksutoimitus

Maksutoimitus, also known as "payment upon delivery" or "cash on delivery" (COD), is a payment method where the buyer pays for a product or service only after it has been delivered. This method is commonly used in e-commerce and retail, particularly for high-value items or when the buyer is uncertain about the product's quality or authenticity. Maksutoimitus can be beneficial for both buyers and sellers. For buyers, it provides a level of security, as they can inspect the product before making payment. For sellers, it reduces the risk of non-payment, as the payment is made directly to the seller upon delivery. However, maksutoimitus can also pose risks, such as the potential for fraud or damage to the product during transit. To mitigate these risks, sellers may require proof of identity or use secure packaging. Maksutoimitus is widely used in many countries, including Finland, where it is a common practice in online shopping.
