Frequently Asked Questions
Can I pay partial cash on delivery?
It depends on the seller. Some high-value or customized items may require a small advance payment via bank transfer to confirm the order, with the rest payable on delivery. Always check the seller's terms.
Is COD available islandwide?
Yes, COD is widely available across Sri Lanka through major couriers (like Koombiyo, Domex, Certis) and Sri Lanka Post. Extremely remote locations might occasionally require pickup from the nearest town center.
What if I'm not home for delivery?
The delivery rider will typically call you before arriving. If you are not home, they usually attempt delivery again the following day. You may also authorize a family member to pay and receive it for you.
