Multi-carrier shipping, pincode-aware per-order allocation, and a predictable weekly COD remittance cycle — for merchants who ship anywhere from 1 to 10,000 orders a day.
RTO Shield acts at the order stage — before any forward freight is spent. That single capability typically saves the highest single contributor to ecommerce margin leakage in India.
Every courier allocation shows why that courier was picked — pincode SLA, RTO history, weight slab fit, COD-share, cost. Defendable in front of finance.
ShipyBox is operated by Reliable International — 23 offices, Pan-India. Issues escalate to humans who actually understand logistics.
