It is on the cheaper price point because it claims to be able to do certain functions when in reality it can't. I've been on multiple calls to ask why a settings function will say you can do certain things, when in reality it won't let you do them. This happened more than once. No change happens after you show them it doesn't make sense either.
I was excited to set up a returns portal with Aftership, but you can't even set up basic return criteria like using the 'delivery date' for the return window without paying for the $119 plan, super disappointing and not worth it if you're a small business
Great customer service! Rahul is very responsive and helpful:)
Chaitali was absolutely fab and quick on resolving the request. Thanks
Vibhanshu was very helpful!

Hi there, Thank you for the feedback, and we're sorry to see the 1-star rating. We looked into your account to understand what happened, and we're a little unclear on the cause. On our side, the Returns app appears to have been installed but not configured or used — we don't see any background activity logged for it. The Tracking app was active for under an hour before uninstall. That short window makes us think you may have hit a blocker early on, or that something didn't work as expected during setup. We'd genuinely like to know what it was. We would really appreciate if you can share where things went wrong — setup, a missing feature, pricing, or something else — we'll look into it right away. You can reach us via chat or can send an email at support@aftership.com. Thanks, AfterShip Support Team
Vibhanshu Goswami was amazing in support making sure we had the correct integration, he took time to explain what to do and help me navigating the system. Excellent personal service.
Thank you so much Shivam Singh! You provided an excellent service!!!
Arun was very patient and explained the process clearly. They were also very understanding of a mishap regarding the service request at the beginning on my end. Overall great experience.
Amazing app and service. I have been using it for a few years, and it is the best returns management solution I have used so far. Special thanks to Abhishek very professional, helpful, and knowledgeable. The app gives you many options to manage the returns process and offers a wide range of settings to customise everything based on your business needs. Highly recommended.
Although she wasn't exactly sure how to correct my issue/question immediately I appreciate that she took the time and figured it out and it was solved pretty easily. Thanks :)
HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE! Website shows different pricing every time you reload the page. They claim the setup process is 30 minutes, but there are so many bugs along the way that require support, that the process actually takes hours. And once you finally get it setup, you realize that the lower pricing tiers completely fail at making returns automated (ex: won't auto-select shipping carriers, so returns fail because the one shipping option that it'll let you choose won't work with every return.) Once you tell support that you're fed up and want to leave, they offer discounts to keep you. But then when you accept the discount to try the upgrade, they change their mind about the discount that they offered and try to make you pay more. This entire process has been deceptive and frustrating. Bait and switch at every turn. Look elsewhere for your returns app needs. This one ain't the one.
I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding support provided by Chaitali from the AfterShip team. From the very beginning, Chaitali was extremely professional, knowledgeable, patient, and responsive. She took the time to understand my requirements, guided me through the setup process, and ensured that all my questions were answered clearly. Her attention to detail and commitment to helping me resolve my issues made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. What impressed me most was her willingness to go above and beyond to provide assistance and make sure everything was working correctly. It is rare to receive such dedicated and customer-focused support. Chaitali is a true asset to the AfterShip team, and her excellent service reflects very positively on the company. Thank you, Chaitali, for your exceptional support and professionalism. It was a pleasure working with you. Thanks, KJ kirri
Contacted customer support today and Karan was very helpful and offered a free 14-days trial. Thanks so much!

Our team is available 24/7 and always happy to help. Please feel free to reach out to us directly so we can work toward improving your experience. Best Regards, Team AfterShip
Going well - I really wanted to offer free shipping returns for customers that could self generate them - but that is not possible on my plan $59 a month - but we can offer variant swaps like shoe size swap for example, customers can generate their own labels, returns are approved automatically, and we offer a 15% store credit bump when customer opts in for that in regards to returns instance -
Your It guy saved the day. After a few text chats and a phone call we are back in business. Thank you for the help and making it work!
I had an extremely frustrating experience with AfterShip Returns and honestly regret wasting so much time setting it up. As a Shopify business owner, I spent HOURS configuring their return portal, workflows, customer messaging, replacement flows, uploads, and policies — only to discover that one of the most basic and essential return workflow features was locked behind a more expensive plan. Our business simply wanted to approve replacements without forcing customers to return low-value items. This is a completely normal workflow for modern ecommerce businesses. Instead, the system keeps showing customers return shipping instructions and “items you need to return,” which creates confusion and a terrible customer experience. What makes this worse is: • Slow customer support responses • Being passed between multiple agents • Generic copy-paste replies • Wasting time explaining the same issue repeatedly • Basic functionality hidden behind higher pricing tiers The most disappointing part is that this wasn’t some advanced enterprise feature. It was a simple operational requirement that many Shopify stores would reasonably expect to have access to. After spending hours onboarding and customizing everything, they eventually told me the feature required upgrading to a more expensive Pro plan just to allow “keep the item” returns/replacements. So basically: 1. Spend hours setting everything up 2. Discover critical workflow limitations later 3. Pay more money to unlock practical functionality This feels incredibly misleading from a merchant perspective. The support team kept apologizing, but apologies don’t give businesses back their wasted time. The overall experience felt designed to push users into higher-tier plans after they are already invested in the setup process. If you’re considering AfterShip Returns for a serious ecommerce operation, I strongly recommend testing EVERY workflow limitation first before committing time to setup. For us, this was a huge waste of time, energy, and effort. To your reply -> thanks for offering printer less returns with Green returns for extra 40 USD a month - completely worth it . Next time do let people know how to use the printerless returns with the green return option

Dear Sports Jersey Direct Team, Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback regarding your application experience. We sincerely apologize for the frustration caused by back-and-forth communication; this is certainly not the standard of service we aim to provide, and your feedback is being reviewed internally to help us improve our support workflow. We understand how critical the Green Returns workflow is for modern e-commerce operations. While this feature is exclusive to our Pro plan and above, the higher pricing tier is designed to deliver comprehensive value across your entire post-purchase experience. It includes a robust bundle of advanced features tailored for growing businesses, such as: Printerless Returns (QR Codes): Providing a seamless, drop-off experience for your customers. Refund to Store Credit & Gift Returns: Helping you retain revenue and drive repeat purchases. Advanced Automation: Streamlining return request approvals to save your team manual effort. We truly want to help you find a sustainable solution for your business. To ensure you can thoroughly test this workflow without immediate financial risk, we previously sent an email offering you a free month of our Green Returns functionality to review. We haven't heard back from you yet, but we have just resent an email with further details on how to activate this offer. We would love the opportunity to connect and discuss how we can better support your serious e-commerce operations moving forward. Best regards, The AfterShip Team

We LOVE AfterShip! Dhanush was fantastic to work with. He helped us quickly resolve some issues between AfterShip Returns and Shopify, and the turnaround was much faster than I expected. He was very helpful, knowledgeable, and easy to work with throughout the process. His guidance made a big difference, and I really appreciated how smoothly he helped get everything sorted out. Highly recommend working with him. AfterShip Tracking & Returns has saved us so much time, it's hard to imagine running our ecommerce businesses without them!
Aftership has been a great tool for our business. It has helped speed up returns, refunds, and exchanges, and made our customer service department more efficient. The customer facing portal is great and easy to use. Overall we are happy customers, and will continue to use Aftership for the foreseeable future!
The setup process has been very straightforward thanks to the extremely helpful support from Dhanush. He took the time to explain everything in detail and answered all of my questions, ensuring the system was configured exactly the way I needed for my brand’s exchanges and returns. The app has been working great so far and has made the returns process much easier for both me and my customers. Would highly recommend.
Dhanush Nair was very helpful in setting up and walking us through!
karan was very helpful and solved my problem very quickly
We have been using Aftership for years howvere, features needed for reports that used to be offered have been put behind upgraded paywalls. Additionally, the app will sometimes not load at all and will need to be restarted multiple times. Customer service does respond fairly quickly.
