The Hidden Costs of COD Concrete Jobs — And How We Removed Them

COD Should Be Cheaper. Instead, It’s Often More Expensive.

It doesn’t make sense, but it’s true:

When you pay for concrete upfront — no credit risk, no long terms — you’d expect a better deal. Yet most plants charge more, not less.

Why?

Because they’re not built for it.


The Problem with Traditional Suppliers

Most concrete suppliers are structured around:

  • Monthly trade accounts
  • Big, recurring volume clients
  • Long-term credit customers

That means they:

  • Add admin fees to COD bookings
  • Prioritise account clients
  • Provide little to no support for one-off jobs
  • Make you chase availability, prices, and confirmation

Even worse — there’s often no guarantee your job is locked in until a truck arrives.


How Order Concrete Solves the COD Problem

We flipped the model. Order Concrete is purpose-built for upfront jobs.

That means:

COD Should Be Simpler. Now It Is.

When you place an order through a partner link, everything is streamlined:

  • No account needed
  • No chasing quotes
  • No admin fees
  • No guessing game

You know the price, the job is scheduled, and you’re supported every step of the way.


Why It’s Cheaper with Us — Even on the Same Concrete

Because we’re built to take upfront bookings at scale, we cut out the friction:

  • No credit checks
  • No account maintenance
  • No overdue admin costs
  • Just batching, delivery, and go

We pass that efficiency back to the customer as lower pricing — and to the partner as recurring income.


Final Thought: COD Concrete Doesn’t Have to Suck

Order Concrete removes the pain points of ordering and paying upfront. Whether you’re a builder, landscaper, or concreter — it’s time to experience concrete ordering the way it should be.
