Why do returned parcels matter so much in cash on delivery?
A returned parcel earns nothing, but you still paid for packaging and the courier, often both ways. If one in five parcels comes back, those costs come out of the profit on the other four.
What is a normal return rate in Pakistan?
It varies a lot by product and by how you confirm orders. Many sellers see anywhere from 10% to 30%. Use your own courier reports for the real number. Confirming each order on WhatsApp before dispatch usually brings it down.
How is the suggested price worked out?
It is the price at which your profit, divided by the cash you collect on delivered orders, equals the margin you picked, after counting the cost of returned parcels and ads.
