Payment on delivery is still very much a thing here. Literally all food delivery allows it.
The majority of online retailers allow it too, though some of them charge the equivalent of ~1€ if you do choose it.
I prefere using it when I don't know much about the store or if I know the store is too big to care about their customers and I had orders being delayed by them in the past. It's in their best interest to deliver it asap if they didn't get the money yet.
Also, it makes it a hell of a lot easier to deal with goods damaged during shipping, if the box is damaged you just refuse it and don't have to wait x amount of days to get the money back into your account.
