NDR and Delivery Boost
Full NDR panel guide, Delivery Boost, reattempt actions, escalation, fake attempts, and buyer communication
Product Info
What is NDR?
NDR (Non-Delivery Report) is a shipment status generated when the courier attempts delivery but cannot complete it. It appears in the NDR panel within your Shiprocket account and highlights all orders where delivery was unsuccessful.
Access: NDR/Delivery Boost option from the left menu.
Courier partners provide a maximum of 3 delivery attempts before marking a shipment for RTO (Return to Origin). After the third failed attempt, the shipment is marked as RTO Initiated.
Exception: If the NDR reason is "Customer Refused OTP Verified," the shipment is sent to RTO immediately without waiting for 3 attempts.
With Delivery Boost enabled, Shiprocket automatically triggers reattempts for all eligible shipments. If seller input is required (incomplete address, unreachable buyer, courier needs clarification), those orders are flagged separately.
Smart nudges like RTO Score, Address Score, and Tracking History are also available in the NDR panel to guide sellers with recommendations on how to improve delivery outcomes.
Note: If NDR is showing in the left menu instead of Delivery Boost, it indicates that the Delivery Boost service is not activated. Once Delivery Boost is activated, the menu label changes to Delivery Boost.
Examples Where Auto Re-Attempts May Not Happen
-
Buyer refuses the shipment after OTP verification
-
NDR action has already been taken for RTO
-
Shipment is marked undeliverable due to operational reasons
In such cases, additional auto-attempts may not be initiated.
Ways to Raise or Manage an NDR
There are three primary ways through which an NDR can be managed:
1. Auto Re-Attempt from System Side
If neither the seller nor the buyer takes any action on the NDR within the defined timeline, the system may automatically raise a re-attempt request from our side.
This helps improve delivery success rates and minimize unnecessary RTOs.
2. Seller Action on NDR
Sellers can directly manage NDR cases from the seller panel. A dedicated NDR Management Tab is available where sellers can take corrective actions such as:
-
Updating the delivery address (within the same PIN code)
-
Updating the buyer's contact number
-
Selecting a preferred delivery date
-
Adding delivery remarks or special instructions
Based on the updated information, the courier partner can plan the next delivery attempt accordingly.
3. Buyer Action on NDR (Delivery Boost Plan)
Buyers can also take action on NDR cases if the seller has opted for the Delivery Boost Plan, which is a paid service.
Under this plan, buyers receive NDR notifications directly through:
-
SMS
-
WhatsApp
Buyers can confirm delivery preferences or provide updated details directly, helping improve delivery success rates and reducing RTO cases. Buyers can also give their response from the tracking page.
Common Reasons for NDR
NDRs may occur due to various operational or customer-related reasons, including:
-
Fake delivery attempt
-
Buyer not contactable or unavailable
-
Incorrect address or PIN code issue
-
ODA (Out of Delivery Area) location
-
Courier operational issues due to local disturbances or shipment backlog
-
COD amount not ready with the buyer
-
Incomplete or unclear address details
NDR Verification Process
Verification should always be conducted based on the specific delivery failure reason mentioned in the NDR remarks.
1. Verify as Per NDR Reason
Proper verification should be done depending on the failure reason, such as:
-
Address issue
-
Buyer not contactable
-
COD amount not ready
-
Delivery refused
-
Landmark missing
2. Seller and Buyer Number Validation
The seller's and buyer's contact numbers should not be the same.
-
If both numbers are identical, contact the buyer directly for verification.
-
Also guide the seller to avoid using the same number for future shipments.
3. Check Buyer & Address History
Review shipment and address history carefully, including:
-
Delivery success percentage
-
Address category (residential/commercial/high-risk area)
-
Previous NDR or RTO records
Also collect complete information from the seller to verify whether the NDR remark is genuinely related to the address issue or not.
4. Alternate Contact Number
Always ask for an alternate buyer contact number to verify whether the buyer is reachable.
This helps improve communication and delivery coordination.
5. Check NDR Communication History
NDR Communication History should also be checked, as it is highly useful for BPR (Business Process Review) and verification purposes.
It helps identify:
-
Previous delivery coordination attempts
-
Buyer responses
-
Courier remarks and follow-up actions
This ensures better decision-making before proceeding with re-attempts or RTO actions.
SOP — NDR Action Plan by Undelivered Reason
Use the following action plan based on the specific undelivered reason shown in NDR remarks.
Customer Refused, OTP Verified
OTP was shared by the customer with the rider for order cancellation.
-
Inform the seller that the cancellation OTP was shared by the customer.
-
If the seller disagrees, connect with the customer:
-
Customer confirms refusal: Inform the seller that we cannot raise a reattempt with the courier team. Mark as FCR.
-
Customer says OTP was shared by mistake or taken forcefully and they want the order: Create an NFCR ticket. Inform that we will try for a next attempt but cannot commit to delivery.
-
⚠️ Without BPR, escalation is not allowed for this reason.
Customer Refused (Non-OTP Verified)
Connect with the customer directly:
-
Buyer wants the order: Create an NFCR ticket and assign to LOPS NDR & RTO channel.
-
Buyer denies accepting the order: Create an FCR ticket.
Wrong / Incomplete Address
Address or pincode is incorrect or incomplete. Contact the customer and confirm the address:
-
Pincode change required: Deny reattempt to the seller.
-
Address confirmed correct and complete: Assign the case to LOPS NDR team.
-
House no./building no./plot no. is missing: Collect the details from the customer and update before assigning.
Customer Asked for Open Delivery
Open box delivery service is not available. Inform both seller and customer that open box delivery is not supported.
-
Customer agrees to receive the shipment as-is: Create an NFCR ticket.
-
Customer does not agree: Create an FCR ticket and inform that reattempt is not possible.
ODA Location (Out of Delivery Area)
Doorstep delivery is not available for this address (though pincode is serviceable).
-
All couriers except Amazon: Create an NFCR ticket to arrange a DC (Delivery Center) address for the buyer.
-
Amazon courier: Deny the request, inform that self-collection is not available, and create an FCR ticket.
DC Address of BD and Ekart:
Customer Asked for Future Delivery
Customer requested delivery on a different date. Check with the customer whether the attempt was fake or genuine.
-
Delivery reattempt can be arranged within 2 days from the escalation date only.
-
Create an NFCR ticket only if the buyer agrees to receive within the 2-day window.
Any Other Reason
Refer to NDR remarks and collect BPR from the buyer:
-
BPR received: Assign the case to LOPS.
-
Buyer denies: Do not assign to LOPS. Create an FCR ticket.
Additional Rules
-
Buyer non-contactable: Except for the "Customer Refused, OTP Verified" case, if the buyer is non-contactable, you can still raise a reattempt with the courier.
-
Maximum 3 delivery attempts: After the third failed attempt, inform the seller that maximum attempts have been exhausted and the case is being raised with the courier for another attempt. However, we cannot commit to a successful next attempt.
New NDR Panel — Three Action Options
When you click Act on Shipment on an order, three options appear:
1. Update Delivery Details — Use when:
-
Address is incomplete
-
Phone number is wrong
-
Buyer requests a different date
-
Courier reports "incorrect address" or cannot reach buyer
You can update: full address, alternate contact number, delivery date (next 3 working days), buyer remarks.
2. Provide Proof of Buyer Intent — Use when:
-
Buyer wants a reattempt
-
Buyer confirmed correct details
-
Buyer denies courier's NDR reason
-
You have communication proof (screenshot, call recording, photo)
Components to log: communication method (call, WhatsApp, SMS), buyer's confirmation or refusal, seller remarks, and proof of communication (optional but recommended).
3. Report a Shipment Issue — Use when:
-
Delivery was not attempted (fake attempt)
-
NDR reason appears incorrect
-
Buyer says no one came to deliver
-
You want to escalate to the courier
You can escalate up to 6 times depending on courier policies. Upload proof (call recordings, chat screenshots, images).
All updates are logged in the unified timeline for complete visibility.
Seller Input Required
Indicates that Shiprocket or the courier needs additional information before reattempt. This appears when:
-
Address is incomplete or inconsistent
-
Phone number appears unreachable
-
Buyer confirmation is missing
-
Courier requires validation for the NDR reason
-
Prior action was not accepted by courier
-
Delivery Boost auto-communication got no clear response
-
Address-pincode mismatch detected
-
Courier tracking history raises a potential failure risk
Filter: NDR panel > Unsuccessful Deliveries > Select Input Required → Yes
Critical Action Required
Highlights shipments likely to fail unless immediate action is taken. Appears when:
-
Courier rejected previously submitted information
-
Address score is extremely low
-
Tracking history shows repeated failures at the same location
-
Buyer has denied availability multiple times
-
Courier has flagged delivery as high-risk
-
Reattempt cutoff for the day is near
Filter: Select Critical Action Required → Yes
Ignoring Critical Action Required shipments almost always results in RTO.
Reattempt Automation
The Reattempt button has been removed from the new NDR panel. Reattempts are fully automated by Shiprocket for all eligible NDR shipments. Sellers only need to update or validate information through Act on Shipment.
Reattempt is not auto-triggered when: Action Required, Critical Action Required, Buyer refused, Address is invalid, Courier needs additional info, previous reattempt rejected.
Reattempt Eligibility
The system determines reattempt eligibility based on:
-
Courier policy
-
NDR reason type
-
Buyer response
-
Previous attempt history
-
Delivery zone constraints
-
RTO Score
-
Address Score
-
Cut-off times for the day
Examples:
-
"Customer Refused – OTP Verified" → No further attempts
-
Repeated incorrect address → Reattempt blocked until corrected
-
Fake attempt proof submitted → Reattempt allowed after escalation
-
Buyer positive confirmation → High reattempt probability
If reattempt is not possible, the system recommends alternative actions in the panel.
NDR SLA & Timelines
-
Sellers should take action on NDR shipments at the earliest or within 24 hours.
-
Couriers generally take action within 24 to 48 hours on an undelivered shipment after action is submitted.
-
If no action is taken by the seller, Shiprocket will attempt to take action on the seller's behalf and request the courier partner to reattempt delivery.
-
If a second attempt fails, the order reappears in the NDR panel for further action.
-
If the buyer does not want the order, the order reappears in the NDR panel where the seller can take further action.
What Happens If No Action Is Taken on NDR
If the seller does not take action on an NDR shipment:
-
Shiprocket will still attempt auto-reattempt if possible
-
But if input is required and ignored:
-
Delivery may fail again
-
Chances of RTO increase
-
Courier may mark buyer unreachable
-
Shipment may move to RTO faster
-
Ignoring Critical Action Required shipments almost always leads to RTO.
Contact Buyer Flow
The Contact Buyer flow now functions within Act on Shipment → Provide Proof of Buyer Intent. When you contact the buyer, the system guides you to:
-
Log communication method (call, WhatsApp, SMS)
-
Capture buyer confirmation or refusal
-
Update address or phone number
-
Upload proof (optional)
All interactions including calls, updates, and buyer responses are recorded in the unified timeline.
Tracking NDR Shipments
-
The status of an NDR shipment can be tracked from the tracking page.
-
NDR history of the shipment can also be viewed from the NDR panel.
Buyer Communication via Delivery Boost
Shiprocket contacts buyers via WhatsApp, IVR, SMS, and Email within a 12–24 hour window after NDR. Communication stops when buyer responds.
Buyer can update: Address, contact details, request delivery on next 3 working days.
If buyer gives positive response: Reattempt request sent to courier. If delivery succeeds → categorized as Delivery Boost shipment → seller charged 5% of order value.
If buyer gives negative response: Displayed in Delivery Boost panel under Action Requested tab. Seller can escalate if shipment is not attempted within 24 hours.
Buyer Communication Visibility
-
The communication visibility panel is available for all delivered, undelivered, and in-transit shipments. It helps sellers proactively monitor buyer response behaviour.
-
The feature logs both SMS and IVR attempts and outcomes.
-
As of now, this panel is view-only. Sellers can use insights (such as no buyer response) to trigger follow-ups through Engage360 or support teams.
What is Proof of Buyer Intent?
A simplified proof submission process used for fake attempt reporting, buyer intent validation, courier escalations, and address verification. Upload:
-
Screenshots of buyer chats
-
Call recordings
-
Images provided by buyer (gate closed, security issues)
-
Photos validating correct address
-
Written confirmation by the buyer

RTO — Reference Guide
What is RTO?
RTO (Return to Origin) means a shipment is being returned to the sender due to multiple failures in delivery reattempt.
Common reasons for RTO include:
-
Incorrect address
-
Recipient not available
-
Refused delivery
-
Package damaged during transit
RTO Charges
In case of RTO, both the forward and reverse charges are borne by the seller. If the customer does not accept the shipment, there are no cancellation charges, but the sender is responsible for paying the return shipment charges.
RTO Delivery Attempts
-
There will be no attempts made to deliver the order to the buyer after an RTO is initiated.
-
Before RTO, 3 attempts will be made to deliver the order unless the NDR reason is "Customer Refused OTP Verified".
-
Once a shipment gets RTO, it will be shipped to the seller or to the address specified by the seller. An RTO shipment cannot be stopped from returning back to the seller.
-
If the RTO shipment is not delivered to the seller after 10 days, the shipment will be disposed of by the courier.
RTO Statuses
-
Initiated: RTO has been marked by the courier company after three failed delivery attempts.
-
Delivered: The return shipment has been delivered to the seller's pickup address.
-
Acknowledged: The seller has received and acknowledged the RTO shipment.
Tracking RTO Shipments
When a shipment is marked for RTO, the Expected RTO Delivery Date (RTO EDD) is updated on the order. This can be viewed on the Orders page under the RTO tab.
To view RTO orders: Left menu > Orders > RTO tab.
How to Mark a Shipment as RTO
Go to NDR section from the left menu > click View Details against the AWB > click Mark RTO.
RTO Delay Escalation
If your shipment is in RTO Initiated or RTO In Transit status and the RTO EDD has been breached, you can raise an RTO Delay Escalation.
Steps:
-
Go to Orders from the left menu > select RTO tab.
-
If the RTO EDD has passed, a Create Ticket button will appear on the right-hand side.
-
Click Create Ticket, enter your remarks, and submit.
-
You can re-escalate within 48 hours from the date of escalation closure.
Blocking RTO Pincodes
Sellers can proactively block pincodes where RTO instances are high.
Steps: Settings > Courier Selection > click on the courier > click Block Pincodes > select preferred option > Submit.
Three blocking options are available:
-
Courier: Download and block all RTO pincodes of the specific courier partner.
-
Account: Download and block all RTO pincodes specific to your account for the respective courier partner.
-
Custom: Manually enter pincodes to block.
The same steps can be followed to unblock pincodes in future.
How to Reduce RTO
-
Connect with buyers: For high RTO orders, connect with buyers through Customer Connect to confirm order and address details before shipping.
-
Optimise order confirmation: For low RTO orders, skip confirmation costs and ship directly, as these have a lower likelihood of return.
-
Enable RTO Score: Go to Settings > Shipment features > RTO Score > click Enable RTO Score.
-
Block high-RTO pincodes: Settings > Courier Selection > select courier > Block Pincodes.
Eway Bill for RTO Shipments
Uploading an Eway Bill for an RTO shipment is mandatory if the order value is more than Rs. 50,000. Non-compliance can result in both monetary and non-monetary loss. Shiprocket and associated courier partners do not take responsibility in such cases.
Steps to upload:
-
Go to Orders from the left menu > select RTO tab.
-
Go to RTO-Initiated orders and find the order.
-

What is NDR Panel? NDR Panel is a feature in Shiprocket that provides sellers with visibility and control over shipments that could not be delivered successfully. It is a component associated with the Delivery Boost feature. Access it via NDR/Delivery Boost from the left menu.
What does "Seller Input Required" mean? Indicates that Shiprocket or the courier needs additional information before a reattempt can be processed. Filter via: NDR panel > Unsuccessful Deliveries > Select Input Required → Yes.
What does "Critical Action Required" mean? Highlights shipments likely to fail in the next reattempt unless immediate action is taken. Filter via: Select Critical Action Required → Yes. Delaying action can lead to RTO.
