• 90% of B2C transactions use COD (Cash On Delivery; pay upon receiving the goods) to settle the payment.
• Vendors or e-commerce service providers, rather than special delivery firms, deliver most of the purchased goods.
• Pricing through e-commerce is the same as through traditional commerce.
• Many e-stores are not a 24-hour/7-day operation. They are open for certain days and certain time periods similar to traditional stores.
