Cash on Delivery (COD) Policy
Everything you need to know about paying on delivery — service charge, eligibility, limits and prepaid alternatives
At The Fashion Station, we strive to offer a seamless and secure shopping experience for all our customers. To ensure the best possible service and to minimise misuse of the Cash on Delivery option, we have implemented the following COD policy. Cash on Delivery is available only at select pin codes across India and is not applicable for orders with a total value above ₹5,000. For higher-value orders, we offer a range of secure prepaid options — all backed by our 100% original guarantee and 30-day return policy.
₹200 Per COD Order
We charge an additional ₹200 on every order placed using Cash on Delivery. This amount is added over and above the product price at the time of checkout. The charge is clearly displayed before you place the order — no hidden fees.
Why We Charge a COD Service Fee
|
Prevention of Fake & Fraudulent Orders
COD orders carry a higher risk of fake or fraudulently placed orders, which result in unwanted financial losses and operational challenges for us. The COD charge helps mitigate these risks and ensures genuine order placements.

Courier Partner COD Handling Fees
Our logistics partners charge extra for handling COD shipments — including cash collection, reconciliation and remittance processes. The COD fee helps cover part of these additional charges.
|
|
Limited Cash Handling Infrastructure
Handling COD orders involves additional manual processes and resources — verification, tracking and secure cash transfers. The service fee helps support these backend requirements.

Alternative Payment Methods — Avoid the COD Fee

Pay online to save ₹200 and get priority dispatch — or choose COD at checkout on orders up to ₹5,000.
