Hi, I'm going to write an important article about online orders, especially from Amazon and Flipkart. If you are a regular customer of any of these 2 e-commerce sites, then you might have faced the issue I'm going to talk about. Especially when it comes to flash sale orders, and you realize that cash on delivery is not available, there comes the frustration. In this article, I will tell you how to increase the chance of getting cash on delivery for your order, and also will share what you need to do when cash on delivery option is not there for you. 


In the case of Amazon - In amazon, before the sale starts make an order to check whether cash on delivery is available for you or not(just proceed till the payment page and check). If it is available for another address then there is no chance of getting cod in your previous address. If it's not available for any of the addresses then make a new id and you will get it. 

What to do when you are in the middle of the flash sale and cash on delivery is not available? 

  • Here is the main trick, If you have no cod then choose the net banking as the payment option and place your orders, then abort the payment by closing the payment page.
  • Now wait for 20 minutes, you will get a notification from Amazon that your payment was unsuccessful please retry your payment. 
  • Here you will get 3-4 hours time to make the payment. Now wait for 1-2 hours and go to my orders' section on Amazon and click on the retry payment option and there you can see cash on delivery option is available!
Please note - This trick works 80% of the time, in case you don't get cod then you have 4 hours to make the payment, you can do it by arranging in that time.


Get Cash on delivery in Flipkart  - In the case of Flipkart please make sure you have not done different orders in different addresses from that same id. (Flipkart is tracking them who are ordering mobiles for other state dealers). If you have done this then Flipkart will cancel your orders within a second. Add your address and check cash on delivery is available or not in that id or address as I said for amazon. (I always recommend to use new id for Flipkart orders).

What to do now if cash on delivery is not available in Flipkart in the middle of the sale?


If it is not available then the trick is - place the order in a different address where cod is available and then instantly change the address after you have placed the order. isn't is a simple and nice trick?

what to do if Flipkart asks to pay 500 rs as an advance for your order in the flash sale?


  • This is a problematic situation. In flash sales products stays in stock for some seconds and within that time if you can not place the order then you will lose it. Now if you are going to pay that 500 then it will take some more seconds(but each second is important in the flash sale) for sure as compared to placing cash on delivery order, isn't it?
  • The solution is simple as I said earlier for no cod solution, place the order in another address where cod is available and then change the address instantly to your address.

Please note that whatever I have shared here in this article may not work 100% for you. But it will definitely increase the chance to get your desired product from the flash sale. If you think you got some new ideas to apply then please share in your Whatsapp groups.
