Cash on Delivery: Payment with Confidence, Delivery with Certainty
Cash on delivery remains one of the most widely used payment methods in Greece, and with good reason. It lets the recipient pay when the parcel arrives, offering a sense of security and control, especially when buying online. For the sender, business or individual, it is a practical way to make sure the amount is collected.
ICC Courier fully supports cash on delivery with modern tools, speed and clear procedures, so that every payment is made easily, securely and without delay.
How Cash on Delivery Works with ICC
The process is simple and designed with transparency in mind. The recipient pays when the parcel is delivered, either in cash or by card on a POS terminal. The amount is paid to the sender through bank clearing, with regular deposits and accompanying reports.
The sender is kept informed at every stage: from delivery to collection and the final transfer of the money. The service is available across all of Greece, including the islands and hard-to-reach areas.
