COD for tablet worth 10k

Hello po, ask ko lang po if okay ba na mag COD sa shopee for product na worth 10k. Balak kong bumili ng tablet sa Xiaomi Official Store and nag-aalala ako na baka manakaw yung tablet habang nasa shipping. Gusto ko sana itry yung COD unbox pero di ko sure if eligible ba yung product? (eligible naman sya sa loc ko since may COD unbox option everytime na nagoorder ako). Yung only shipping na available ay yung standard intl. which I think is SPX ata? I also signed up for Spaylater kaso 6k lang limit ko. Any advice please? I really can't afford to lose 10k since student palang ako and if I try to buy sa physical stores mas mahal and 10k lang ang pera ko.

Also, worth it ba yung gadget protection something nila? 599 kasi ang mahal
