Why COD Sourcing 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 Sourcing 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. Sourcing does not live in a vacuum; it lives next to the carrier SLAs in San José.

Negotiated Terms
