Utánvétel

"Utánvétel" is a Hungarian term that translates to "cash on delivery" or "payment upon receipt" in English. It is a common payment method used in e-commerce and for postal deliveries in Hungary. When a customer chooses utánvétel, they agree to pay the full price of the goods, including any shipping costs, directly to the delivery person at the time the package is handed over.

This payment method provides a sense of security for online shoppers who may be hesitant to share their credit card details online or prefer to inspect the goods before making a payment. It also offers a convenient option for those who may not have easy access to online payment methods. The delivery service provider typically handles the collection of the payment, which can be made in cash or sometimes by card, depending on the courier's capabilities.

The seller receives the payment from the courier after the delivery has been successfully completed and the customer has paid. While offering a sense of trust, utánvétel can sometimes be more expensive than other payment methods due to the additional handling and administrative costs involved for the courier. It is a widely accepted and understood practice in the Hungarian market, contributing to consumer confidence in online shopping.
