How to Use Cash On Delivery (COD) with Lalamove
Are you an entrepreneur looking for a delivery truck service with cash on delivery? One of the most sought-after features of a courier service and third-party logistics (3PL) provider is more commonly known as COD.
According to the most recent data from the Philippine Statistics Authority, there are a total of 1,080,810 active business enterprises in the country, with 99.58 percent of them classified as micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). MSMEs also account for 63 percent of the national workforce.
With this, many customers rely on this feature to make delivery transactions safe and secure, Lalamove provides not just one or two, but three ways to do COD!
Lalamove's commitment to ensuring the efficiency and security of deliveries is underpinned, especially by our delivery truck fleet, which is equipped with cutting-edge tracking and safety features.
Take note that Lalamove's COD option is different from Purchase (Pabili) Service — it's an additional service that requires a payment of ₱50 on top of the fare and the amount of the item to be purchased.
These technologies guarantee that your shipments are handled promptly and securely. The convenience of affordable truck delivery for business and even lipat bahay delivery for personal matters are now within your reach.

Lalamove extends its Cash on Delivery (COD) service to both regular customers and business clients, emphasizing the importance of making this top-notch payment option accessible to the local market, ensuring that everyone who requires it can experience the convenience of payment collection.
Leveraging Lalamove's extensive fleet of delivery trucks and dedicated drivers, customers can effortlessly receive their orders at their doorsteps, eliminating the inconvenience of visiting physical stores or banks for payment.
This feature is particularly advantageous for those who prefer cash transactions, as Lalamove's COD service allows customers to settle their bills directly with the driver upon delivery.
At Lalamove, we recognize that every delivery is unique, and we appreciate the diversity of business needs. See Lalamove's Truck Service: Elevating Cebu's Gift Giving to see how we can be in terms of accommodating any kind of delivery.
Therefore, our Cash on Delivery service offers versatility, allowing you to choose the method that best suits your specific requirements. Take a moment to explore the various COD techniques available, and find the one that aligns perfectly with your business goals.
Cash on Delivery via Multi-Stop and Cash Handling
When you're dealing with bulk deliveries, opting for the multi-stop + cash handling approach for your cash on delivery service is a smart move. This enables you to efficiently distribute multiple items to up to 20 different drop-off points in a single dispatch.
It's an excellent choice when you have a substantial volume of orders that must be delivered within the same day.
The added benefit is that you'll only need to coordinate with one Partner Driver to handle the entire job seamlessly.
If, at the end of the deliveries, you require the driver to return to your location to collect and remit all the payments, you can simply designate your address as the final stop.
This feature ensures that your financial transactions are streamlined and secure, making the process convenient for both you and your customers.
This technique is good for you if you immediately need the money from your sales. Here are the steps on how to do it:
1. Get the orders from your clients and collect them (up to 20 orders).
2. Prepare all the orders and label them correctly to help our Partner Driver.
3. Input your pick-up location.
4. Input the many different locations of your customers as drop-off points. Be sure to input the correct contact details per drop-off point.
5. Once you're done putting your customers' locations, set the final location to your address. This will ensure that our Partner Driver will come back to you after delivering the items and collecting the payment from your customers at each drop-off point.
6. Select 'Motorcycle' as your vehicle and click 'Cash Handling'.
7. Give the items to the Partner Driver upon arrival, and while en route, track your deliveries through the app.
8. The Partner Driver will send the item/s to each customer and will collect the payments.
9. After the last customer drop-off, the Partner Driver will go back to you to remit the payments of your customers and for you to pay the delivery fee.
COD via Queueing Service & Cash Handling
For hassle-free bulk deliveries, consider using Lalamove's Queueing Service in conjunction with Cash Handling. This option streamlines the process when you need to deliver multiple items at once, requiring only one driver to manage your requests.
You can still set up to 20 stops for a single delivery ride, but instead of your location being the final drop-off point, you'll designate a bank address for payment remittance.
Keep in mind the banking hours of your chosen bank to prevent payment delays.
This approach is ideal if you prefer to have your earnings securely deposited in your bank account rather than needing immediate cash on hand.

Cash on Delivery via Buy For Me Service
Lalamove offers a unique service known as "Buy For Me", where our Partner Driver acts as a temporary purchaser on behalf of the customer. The customer reimburses the driver once the delivery is completed. This service is available for Motorcycle and Sedan delivery only.
When you opt for the cash-on-delivery feature using Lalamove's Buy For Me Service, you essentially become a "personal shopper" for the customer. This can be especially advantageous if the customer is willing to pay a premium for the convenience of on-demand delivery.
With this approach, there's just one delivery point, eliminating the need to consolidate multiple orders before dispatch. Explore our competitive trucking service rates today!
