Quick answer
COD feels safe because you pay on delivery — but it doesn’t protect you from counterfeits. Here is how to actually stay safe, with or without COD.

Why people trust us →Cash on delivery (COD) is the most popular way to pay in Bangladesh — and for good reason: you only pay when the parcel arrives. But COD answers only *one* question (“will I receive a parcel?”), not the one that actually matters for skincare: “is what’s inside genuine?”
What COD does and doesn’t protect
COD protects you from: paying for an order that never ships.
COD does NOT protect you from: receiving a counterfeit, expired, or wrong product inside the box. You can pay cash on delivery and still be handed a fake. Sellers on Facebook and marketplaces use COD precisely because it *feels* safe to buyers.
How to actually stay safe
1. Buy from a seller that proves authenticity — not just one that offers COD. (See is online skincare safe?)
2. Check the batch code when it arrives — verify on the Product Checker.
3. Inspect on delivery — seal, printing, expiry. (See how to verify a batch code/QR.)
4. Choose a seller with a real guarantee — so a fake costs *them*, not you.
How TheSkinProof makes COD genuinely safe
At TheSkinProof, COD is safe because the product is already guaranteed *before* it ships: every order is invoice-verified and batch-checked, ships with a QR batch card, and is backed by a 2× money-back guarantee if anything is ever proven counterfeit. That’s the difference between “pay on delivery” and “safe on delivery.” (See also: most trusted skincare store.)
