The only thing I ever do COD is the shipping. If I ship something to somebody via truck freight, I do it "freight collect". They pay me in full for the item before I ship it and I get them an estimate of the freight charges based on the weight and destination. I let them know up front though that it is only an estimate. I have taken a couple things in that, for whatever reason, were less than the estimate the trucking company gave and a few that were more.

It also allowes me to be sure I don't give a low quote to somebody and have to eat some of the freight and cheat myself as well as keeping me from charging the buyer more than the actual freight because of a high quote. This to me is the only fair way to ship. That's about the only form of COD I'd go for.... Just my .02
