Questions about d2c shipping

What should a brand compare beyond the forward shipping rate?

Compare destination coverage, weight rules, return charges, COD terms, non-delivery handling and support, on your own shipment mix. The cheapest forward rate often loses once RTO and disputes are counted. ProShip by Prozo connects you to 30+ courier partners and allocates each order on all of these terms.

How are NDR and RTO different?

A non-delivery report (NDR) records a failed delivery attempt that needs action. Return to origin (RTO) means the parcel is sent back to the warehouse. An NDR becomes an RTO only if no one fixes the problem. Prozo flags every NDR within minutes, contacts the buyer and makes 3 delivery attempts before any RTO.
