In Reply to: RE: Agon - do you do business with zero feedback sellers? posted by mbnx01 on September 09, 2014 at 10:58:30
... the first time or two. If not, I probably won't buy.I would cover any COD charges but the seller must also be willing to cover return shipping charges (if applicable) if the item arrives damaged due to poor packaging or if it does not match the seller's description. Ebay purchases are sometimes covered by a "buyer protection" plan and in such cases I might be willing to buy from a zero feedback seller.

If one of the big two shipping companies delivers an item for you, do you think they will stick around for you to
a)open and unbox the item
b)inspect the item
c)hook it up to make sure it's not DOA
before they take your payment?
Not sure what fantasy shipping world you live in, but they usually drop the box on my doorstep, ring the bell, and are out of the neighborhood before I can even get to the door.

Last time I checked, UPS did COD delivery for an additional fee. The shipper is required to wait for you to answer your doorbell so that you can inspect and pay for the package. Knowing that the delivery guy is probably in a hurry to get going, I would never immediately refuse a package unless heavy damage to the box or it's contents was easily discernable. If you are not home when they come around, instructions will be provided for pickup at the nearest shipping center.
The best solution might be to arrange for COD pickup at the nearest shipping depot. There, you can usually inspect the contents for damage or misrepresentations at your leisure.
Mind you, I probably would not bother with COD unless the item costs over $500 and the seller has zero or questionable feedback ratings.
