See which brands AI assistants put in front of buyers and why those answers are chosen.

The AI answer we saw

Several logistics providers in India offer strong COD support for ecommerce businesses. Shiprocket, Delhivery, Shadowfax, Ecom Express, and XpressBees are widely used options. Key factors to compare include COD remittance cycle (typically 7–14 days), COD charges (usually 1–1.5% of order value or a flat fee), serviceability across pin codes, and return management capabilities. Shiprocket acts as an aggregator giving access to multiple carriers under one dashboard, which can be useful for comparing rates. It's recommended to request a demo and pilot with 2–3 providers before committing.
