AfterShip Returns & Exchanges

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.

Karan provided me with satisfactory service after days and days of getting terrible, unhelpful responses. It is difficult to determine if I was actually assisted or if enough time went by that the issue resolved itself. Overall I am dissatisfied with the way this way handled but very grateful that Karan provided me with actual customer service in the end.

We have been using AfterShip a smidge over a year now. Before this week, I may have given them 4-5 stars; however, there was a change to the app that overrode our return rules; creating an issue for our users. In trying to force an upgrade, at a 70% cost increase, our app no longer functioned as before, nor as desired. After working with support for three days, it was finally resolved today, when the agent, Ayush, removed the forced upgrade. Now our app appears to be performing as needed. There is no way for the user to work around the upgrade and it is not clear that is the issue. All you will need is some patience, an understanding of how the app is supposed to perform for your site, and a fierce determination to reach a support agent who will comprehend the issue and needs of the customer, and be willing to stick with it to make the correct changes.

Unfortunately I had to delete the app I wish it would have worked for me. Because the trial period allows you to block the associated collections you don't allow for returns. I own a subscription box business and these items are already discounted. I wish they had a lower plan for those of us that really don't have a lot of returns but need some essential tools to process other returns. Just not a good fit for our company. But the Support team is still excellent and I am certain others will love this app.

So far so good, however, I am having a few troubles customising to look just like our website, but looking into it further.

I have been asked to write a review before even using the product. Customer Service was quick when trying to set up the free trial.

The concept is good but it was preventing the Add to Cart button from being shown on my website. Unfortunately, customer service was not helpful. I had to work around it by installing it on an older theme. She asked me to just reinstall it. Um no I'm not going to reinstall something that prevents people from shopping. I would prefer however if it just worked on the current theme.

Very simple app. Could do with being prettier and more intuitive. Also I'm amazed it doesn't allow you 'the store owner' to manually create a return (on behalf of your customer) that may be outside of your normal return parameters. For example, lets say you've sent your customer their order but for whatever reason it's been delayed / lost etc and by the time the customer gets the item the return deadline you have selected (say 14 days) has passed and she want to return it for another size. Well, neither they not you can do this !!!! without amending the settings globally to accommodate! You would think the Master user would not be tied by any restriction on creating a return but they are!! Small point but a pain in the backside every time you have to change.

This Application works in principle, however there are issues with setting up multiple team members. I am still waiting for the Developers to help me resolve this.

I used this app to help me organize and keep track of my returns. It does great for offering prepaid labels but I wish it would allow me to change a status, like when a customer has already asked for a refund to original payment but would like to change it to a store credit.

So far so good! Happy with all the features this App has to offer but kind of stuck with the same issues for a while and customers service only gives very basic info that isn't really helping. Also everytime another person replies to me which makes it kind of confusing. Did someone figure out how to get the return center to open within page an dont open anoter tab each time?

The app is only a one way integration and isn't designed to automate the entire exchanges process. It doesn't adjust Inventory or generate a new order in Shopify to send the replacement product if a customer chooses to exchange. It doesn't save me any time as I still have to process the return manually in my back end (Generate a return and new Order in my system). I did email customer support and they were very quick to get back to me.

I have only just started using this app, not sure what i think yet. But seems pretty good. Need a bit more time on it

Needs lots of improvement. When we asked about the features we needed, the short answer was "maybe".

I am testing but what it show is what the company wantslooks like it will serve for the necessities fo the company, as soon as we finish the tests we will come back and requalificate it

noch am Testen, jetzt schwer zu sagen. An sich würde ich viel meh gerne CUstomizen. Ich hoffe das kann man noch

I'm still trying to get this app to work with my store. Sent a request for help and am not sure what I'm missing. Happy to give a better review once it works.

So far so good. I think the app is important to provibe faster customer service. What i dont like it that starting from may a so called 'membership' needs to get paid 10 dollar a month per member.

Pros: Clear information, Easy to Complete, Visually appealing, link to order is very handy Cons: Cannot search or filter by item or reason, cannot resent emails, cannot change status back if needed, cannot choose or change the resolution if the customer's is not accurate, cannot add tracking info right from our end, does not show approved/rejected date and time.

The app works great if the return is for a single box. We have processed hundreds of returns with this app and have been relatively satisfied overall. One challenge: If a customer has multiple boxes to return, there is no way to provide multiple shipping labels to the customer. At that point, we need to manually create electronic shipping labels and email over to the customer. This defeats the purpose of the app. Additionally, In the past month, I've seen a large volume of customers say they never received the secondary email after we've approved them for a return. At that point, there is no way for me to re-send the confirmation email (which contains the optional return label for them to print). As such, I typically need to manually save their return label and send it over to them on my own. Again, this completely defeats the purpose. It would also be nice to be able to easily change shipping label weight and dimensions for each return as we have hundreds of different size and weight packages. If you need a return solution for single, uniform boxes, this app should be great for you. If you need anything flexible or variable (or if you have customers who potentially don't receive emails from the app) then you might not be satisfied with this app.

The app has been useful to assist in returns, however we often experienced difficulties opening the app to use.

The application works correctly. Easy to operate and take the information to CSV. 100% recommended

Good price and easy to use. Wasn't able to customise notifications sent to a customer, so am leaving a review to hopefully unlock this capability

The support is one of the worst I've seen so far for a Shopify app. They seem to not be able to understand my questions. The 3 stars are for the interfaces. It looks prettier than another app that I was considering. As far as capabilities, it's just ok. I still have to do a lot of work on my end, but at least it makes the return process easier for my customers.

This is a great app. It’s easy to install and works wonderfully on my theme. It makes my website more professional. Check it out: www.lussocitta.com Update: I don't mind paying for the app, however this dramatic increase in price is hurting. Still trying out this new version, hopefully I don't need to delete it like others.

The app works well but really needs the option to let people enter their phone number to search for their order. We are still having to manually handle returns where people checked out with a phone number only. Edited to add that this app is apparently being discontinued. In the meantime it's difficult to access the dashboard because there are constant pop ups asking us to upgrade to the paid version.

Needs support for replacements and exchanges to be highly useful.

On a basic level its a great app - it makes a streamlined process for customers to process a return on their own. However there are some missing key features that are lacking: 1. You cannot make custom emails. The ones they've written do not look professional and at times had poor grammar. 2. Not possible to process an exchange (maybe your customer got the wrong size, a faulty product, etc.) 3. You cannot create a set of custom parameters based on circumstances. For example you cannot specify how returns are handled for international purchases, purchases of items on sale, etc. 4. The it takes you to an outside page rather than allowing it to be done within your page. Some main updates would make it a great app, as the integration was quite easy and straight forward to use.

So far the app seems to be working great! My only complaint is that when I try and preview the emails that are going to customers (this is an option in the app) it comes up blank. I have reached out to the support center @ AfterShip, but have not yet received any response....So I'm giving them 3 stars.

Great app but What about exchanges ? As a small business we shouldn't be focused on returning money back but instead finding the correct item for that customer. Please add an exchange feature and ill pay 9.99 a month haha

The app is great, but I would like to be able to translate all the elements of the page, not just the return policy. thank you very much
