What it means

RO (Removal Order) is a request to have inventory returned from an Amazon FBA fulfillment center or destroyed. ROs are typically used for slow-moving or damaged inventory or when closing a business. Amazon charges destruction fees, so sellers should minimize ROs. Working with liquidation partners can sometimes achieve better ROI than paying destruction fees.
