COD Last-mile delivery in Costa Rica

At FUFILLS, shipping is how a COD order turns into collected cash, not a hand-off. Orders go through confirmation before dispatch, travel with a carrier chosen for the delivery zone, and are tracked to the door, so every attempt, delivery and return is visible in your dashboard.

Why this market

Why COD Last-mile delivery matters in Costa Rica

Costa Rica has higher card penetration than its Central American neighbours but COD still represents ~35% of e-commerce volume. The mix favours hybrid merchants who can serve both rails.

In Costa Rica, Fufills runs Last-mile delivery on the local stack: Correos de Costa Rica, DHL Costa Rica, Aeropost integrated end to end, hard-gated confirmation before any dispatch, per-order COD reconciliation in CRC, and settlement on the cycle written in your contract. Last-mile delivery does not live in a vacuum; it lives next to the carrier SLAs in San José.
