DURADERO

In the work boot space, getting the perfect fit right out of the box is everything—if a boot doesn't fit, a worker can't do their job. Solving sizing and fit at the front end before a return happens was a top priority for us at Duradero. Integrating ReaLift has been an absolute game-changer. It has helped us materially reduce our return and exchange rates well below the industry standard. This has saved us thousands of dollars in shipping heavy boots back and forth, but more importantly, it has made for much happier customers who get to work without delay. Ron and the team are fantastic to work with. Whenever we needed tweaks to our checkout to keep things running smoothly on our site, they were right there to help. We are incredibly happy we decided to partner with them, and the growth we’ve seen in such a short period speaks for itself!

This app has been a disaster for Duradero. The day we turned on automation for returns and exchanges it retroactively refunded all exchanges for the previous 30 days totaling over $20,000. Over $11,000 was directly deducted from our account in one day before we discovered it and turned it off.. We thought it was theft but it was bad programming. It was difficult to contact them, they are based in India and it took over 48 hours to get a response. After 5 weeks of back and forth they did issue us a $3500 credit in the Shopify store. This issue happened to coincide with an acquisition of their company so this really felt like they swept us under the rug and stalled as long as possible for resolution. They claim this was some error on our part but how could you possibly have an app that could be programmed to issue retroactive refunds on exchanges??? This was a nightmare and I would recommend NOT using this app. We used LOOP before, no issues. We now use REDO and would recommend either of those options. REDO is a better value by far and the service level and the team there are tremendous.

My overall impression is TryNow increases your competitive advantage. For Duradero, the premise of Try Before You Buy works incredibly well competing against established giants. We are battling brands that have been around for over 100 years in the industrial work boot space. We are wining through service, value, and unique fit technology. TryNow gives us another tool to better engage with customers and give them a level of confidence to try something new that currently none of our competitors are utilizing. In our initial TryNow outreaches we have had higher than average engagement and conversion. We have just begun to scratch the surface on points of entry and looking forward to expanding. TryNow has easy accessible education and use cases that we are excited to roll out. The team at TryNow has been great to work with. The integration, communication, and response to questions has been top notch. We discovered a glitch between Shopify and LOOP that was quickly communicated and resolved by the TryNow team and all we had to do was point them in the right direction. The implementation was not without challenges but I judge them based on their ability and speed to respond to those challenges and it was exceptional. We have worked very hard developing our product and messaging. TryNow helps us meet the customer where they are and offer an incremental level of service while elevating our customer experience. Highly recommend TryNow!
