₹65k in 3 weeks but COD RTOs are killing my margins - how do you deal with this?
Started my dropshipping store ~3 weeks ago and did around ₹65k in revenue so far.
Getting decent order volume, so I don’t think product or ads are the issue.
Big problem: RTOs (India, mostly COD orders). It’s killing margins.
I’ve tried:
- Prepaid discounts
- Calling some customers to confirm orders
Still, most people choose COD and a good chunk ends up returning.
For those selling in India:
- How are you actually reducing RTOs?
- What’s worked for pushing prepaid orders?
- Are confirmation calls even worth it at scale?
Would appreciate any real, practical advice.
