What RTO means

Return to Origin means the courier is sending the parcel back to the seller or warehouse instead of delivering to you.

Common RTO reasons

Wrong address, unreachable phone, refused delivery, failed OTP, or repeated unsuccessful attempts can all trigger RTO.

What you should do

Open marketplace support with order ID + AWB. Ask whether a re-ship is possible. Tracking will show reverse scans until the seller receives the parcel.
