Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is RTO in e-commerce?
RTO stands for Return to Origin. It happens when a courier attempts delivery but the customer refuses the package, is unavailable, or the address is incorrect. The package is returned to the seller.
-
Why is RTO so expensive?
When an RTO occurs, the seller usually pays for both the forward shipping (to the customer) and the reverse shipping (back to the warehouse), while making zero revenue.
-
How is Customer Return different from RTO?
A customer return happens after the package is successfully delivered. RTO happens before delivery is completed.
-
How does the E-commerce RTO Loss Calculator help with shipping labels?
The tool integrates with your shipping label generation process to automatically calculate potential RTO losses based on order data, allowing you to make informed decisions before printing labels.

What specific data does the tool need to calculate RTO losses?
The calculator requires order details such as shipping address, product value, and historical return rates, which it processes alongside label or barcode data to estimate potential financial losses from RTO.
