Advance COD Fee
The ₹200 fee is mandatory to filter high-intent customers. It is non-refundable as it covers the immediate operational cost of processing and insuring high-value cash shipments.
Status: Mandatory for all COD entries.
Pricing is inclusive of all taxes unless stated otherwise. Billing disputes must be initiated within 7 days of the transaction date via the Architect Help Center.
