With cash on delivery you pay only after your medicines arrive, so you never pay upfront for something you haven’t received — the safer choice for first-time and elderly buyers. Prepaid can be faster and unlock offers, but you pay before seeing the order. Army Medicine Supplier is cash-on-delivery first.
