COD and bank cards are wonderful inventions, and I've always
agreed to pay the bank card "surcharges":  a few percent is
a bargain for the ability to enlist the bank in retrieving
your $$$ when a vendor won't make good on his commitment.
I've had the experience very rarely: only once in years
of mail-ordering.  I think that a couple of refunds for faulty
boards etc. came faster, however, because I'd paid with plastic.
In this way plastic is much than COD.
