POD (Proof of Delivery): Evidence the parcel reached the consignee — signature, OTP confirmation, photo or geo-stamp.
Why you care: POD is your defence in 'never received' claims and required for B2B billing.
In practice: Customer claims non-delivery → courier produces OTP + geo-tagged doorstep photo → claim closed in your favour.
Every Indian courier, inside your store. An order comes in,
we quote every connected carrier on the order page — you book the best rate, hyperlocal or national.
