An end-of-week note from the delivery desk, on the one question every Kuwait online store asked us this week.
Every Kuwait online store we spoke to this week asked the same thing — not "what's your per-parcel rate," but "when do I get my COD money back?" That's the right question. For a cash-on-delivery store, the remittance clock is your working capital.
If your courier holds collected cash for the full billing cycle, a growing store is effectively lending its own revenue back to the delivery company — and the faster you grow, the bigger the share of your cash sitting in someone else's account.
The fix isn't shaving the delivery rate. It's two things:
- A shorter remittance cycle, so your collected cash comes back on a schedule that matches how fast you restock.
- A reconciliation you can actually read — every delivered order, every dirham collected, matched to the parcel and settled on a fixed date you never have to chase.
Cross-border parcels moved both ways this week too — into Kuwait and back out. But the domestic COD question is the one that decides whether a store can scale.
