I have my own fair share of online selling as I started my career as a work at home mom through selling on E-bay. I can say that those were exciting days and though I earn small, I felt empowered given that I can augment my husband’s income by selling used stuff or products that I made myself. These days, through the onset of efficient mobile apps and affordable delivery services, establishing an online business can be a walk in the park.
LBC, the Philippines’ leading logistics company, recently added two services which made e-commerce even more easier and less intimidating. At the formal launch held at New World Makati among the company of online partners, media, bloggers and LBC officials, LBC introduced the Cash on Pickup (COP) and Cash on Delivery (COD which for me, will certainly add flexibility both for online sellers and buyers. COP and COD utilizes two of LBC’s core services: as a courier of parcels & boxes, and as a payment collection channel.
Benefits of LBC Cash on Pickup (COP) And Cash on Delivery (COD
As a trading place of the buyer and the seller, LBC’s COP guarantees convenient and seamless transactions between seller and buyer. With this, buyer can now add LBC as a pick up point, instead of the traditional delivery scheme -like delivered at home, office, or meet ups. The online transactions are also guaranteed safe and reliable as sellers are assured that he or she will get paid, while the buyer will get the products in mint condition. For me, this is also a great opportunity even for those who doesn’t want to do business at home or has no staff who can accept deliveries.

For LBC’s COD, the buyer simply pays the item ordered online upon delivery. And LBC takes care of remitting the payment to the seller. This feature conveniently removes the hassle of transacting in banks that are most often busy throughout the day. Imagine the time one can save if we can transact everything in one place, from delivery to accepting payment.
The best thing about Retail COP and COD is that sellers only need to go to any LBC branch. They don’t even need to register their business to start availing of the services right away. For startups and those who prefer to start online business without setting up a bank account initially, LBC is the best way to avoid intimidation. I know many small entrepreneurs who will wish to use this service practically because they just don’t want to go through the hassles of filling up many forms. They can just do business right away as soon as they find a buyer online.
Oliver Valentin, LBC Express PH Retail Operations Senior Vice President says: “This service targets both small online sellers like stay-at-home moms, students and starting entrepreneurs.
