Maybe you can add COD (cash on delivery) to the shipping options. That would be great for parinoid guys who don\'t want to send a money order or peeps without a creditcard (like me...I ain\'t fallin into that trap /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif). When I dont have the time to go to the post office I always order using COD from www.bodybuilding.com (\"http://www.bodybuilding.com\") . Might be a good idea for USA peeps....

I\'m not sure how the COD thing works. Do you pay the postman? What happens if the customer refuses the package when it gets to the door?

At Bodybuilding.com, can you order COD onlline? Or do you have to phone in?

I am all for introducing ideas to encourage newbies to order, but I am afraid of new channels for ripoffs. The numbers of them are staggering these days.

You can pay the postman cash for a additional 80 cents fee or write him a check at your door ect.. You can order COD online but I suggest you do it by phone only, to prevent fraud ect... There\'s more information at there site.

Hey

I don\'t think that there is a need for Bruce to offer the COD method, because even paranoid customers would look at the forum before purchasing to see if there is anyone who complains about long over due deliveries. ( there aren\'t any are there ! ? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif )

btw, if ya wanna see complains about deliveries i could show a site....

I definitely agree with Henrix about the trust issue. I think it\'s really cool that Bruce stands behind his product and offers personalized support when needed. Not many people can say that. Kudos!

Phantom: Don\'t you have a debit card? I agree that sending money through snail mail is nerve-wrecking and credit cards rip you off with the high interest, but don\'t you have a bank account with a Visa-backed debit card you can use? They work the same as credit cards only they take the money out of your bank account, so you can use that instead.

Nope.. Before I ordered using one of my friends creditcards (I payed him before I did) but he confronted me later on asking what the fro was love-scent.com.... I was pretty embarrassed lol. It\'s not really about trust, but convenience.

Man, get one of those \"free checking accounts\", put a few bucks in it, and get your check card to use for online transactions. Hell, use it when you go out to eat or to the store. It is the most convenient way to do these things now, and there\'s no interest because you\'re spending your own money. Downside: you can\'t feel the money come out of your hands when you buy stuff, so you may overspend.

Paypal sucks.. If you can avoid it, I would do. A lot of peeps, including me have made bad experiences with Paypal.

I agree 100% with franki. I don\'t know why so many people support paypal. In some cases (often in Ebay), you cannot even pay with any other instant method. I found it to be the most complicated way of Credit card payments. Last time i tried to use them, they were so many complications, that it seriously made me doubt my IQ, I felt very stupied. Seriously, if you want to avoid hassles, avoid paypal. One of my friends is a great supporter of paypal, he does think its my IQ that is the problem /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif. Apparently an IQ of more than 80 is needed, hence its above my league /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I agree. Using VISA or Mastercard (or AMEX) online is pretty safe I think (despite all the bad stories you hear about creditcards). And those debit cards are very easy to get nowadays..

Don\'t y\'all remember a week or two ago (when we still had the Customer Questions forum) that Bruce said you could have \"Mountain Communications\" or something similar printed on your bill instead of Love-Scent? I believe it would show up the same way on your bank/credit card statement.

Just a thought. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I think I saw a commercial or something that could\'ve been for UPS. The idea is like COD but with a twist. When UPS picks up the package from the sender they give the sender the money for the product. Then when they deliver it they collect the money from the recipient, and keep it. If he doesn\'t pay I believe they break his legs.
Dunno the limitations and all but it sounds pretty good.
