Description
AfterShip Returns is a returns automation solution that delivers a positive returns and exchange experience, optimizes return costs, and retains more revenue. Brands can offer advanced exchanges while leveraging 310,000+ drop-off locations. AfterShip Returns natively integrates with most major platforms, tech solutions, and global carriers.
How AfterShip Returns users win:
- Recapture revenue with exchanges
Improve shopper satisfaction while recovering return revenue with variant or incentivized other-item exchanges and AI-powered product recommendations. - Reduce operational costs
Automate processes and minimize return-related support tickets by centralizing returns, setting routing rules, and leveraging an analytics dashboard. - Improve the returns experience
Increase brand consistency and drive repurchases through fully customizable, branded returns pages, proactive notifications, and embedded navigation.
«This exchange feature took every problem away. It’s also saved a lot of revenue — saving us $125k in the last 90 days. Historically, those would have just resulted in a dead refund. That amount will only keep going up as we get more and more returns.»

«We focus on building relationships with our customers because Lume is a personal product. With AfterShip Returns, what used to take our team upwards of 8 hours a week to do, now only takes us 1 hour. I have a lot more time to listen to customers and make sure they’re happy with their purchase.»
