In practice, a short message such as asking the buyer to reply YES to confirm the order and delivery address filters out people who clicked on impulse and would otherwise refuse the parcel.

A campaign can produce very cheap leads and still lose money once you subtract the shipping on refused parcels, the courier COD fee on every order, and the cash-flow gap while you wait for remittance. The fix is to change what you measure. Track your delivered-and-paid rate, your return-to-sender rate per campaign and per creative, and net margin per delivered order rather than cost per lead alone. Often one creative or one audience is attracting impulse clicks that never take delivery.
