Selvence review for AfterShip Returns & Exchanges
Aug. 8, 2022
We had the free version of the app for the longest time (about 2 years), and the free version had the ability to allow customers to request a refund so many days after the package was delivered to the customer. Today, we get an email from a customer saying they wanted to exchange a pair of shoes for another size, but they could not because the returns center portal said that the order is not within our return policy even though the package was delivered 2 days ago and was well within the return policy. I messaged the Aftership support team about this, and they replied saying they decided to switch my return policy settings to exclude refund requests so many days after the customer has placed the order - not when the package has been delivered without telling us at all that they switched the abilities of the free plan recently. So here we are, unable to process a refund because the app itself switched our settings. The reason? Because they wanted to paywall the feature and make you download their substandard Aftership tracking app as well. Now, that simple free setting of allowing a person to request a refund after so many days of delivery has been paywalled to a feature exclusively found in the Premium Plan of Aftership at a $239 USD a month and forces you to have the Aftership tracking app installed. The repercussions? Negative store reviews directed towards our business and negative word of mouth. This app is not worth your time nor effort as their staff is incompetent - clearly demonstrated with mediocre responses such as "we understand" and "sorry for the inconvenience". Obviously, this app does not comprehend the concept of delivery times. You cannot have a store operate with a refund setting that initiates directly after the customer has ordered the product, as you cannot predict how long that product is going to take to get to their residence. Some packages take days to be delivered and some take weeks depending on the customer's location. Our advice for a return center is to look elsewhere, unless you want to pay $239 USD a month for an essential refund setting.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. Please accept my sincere apology for the experience you had. However, this is not the experience we want to provide to our users. Your feedback has been registered. You are our valued user, and we are committed to providing the best support at all times. I would also like to inform you that we didn't make any changes for our existing users. As per investigation we found that your subscription was cancelled earlier due to card was declined and you resumed the services again recently as per new pricing plan and that's the reason you are not getting the feature to set the return window on the basis of Delivery Date. However, one of our support team member sent you an email to fix this for you. We are looking forward to hear you on email. Regards, Ankush Kumar Team AfterShip
