AfterShip Order Tracking

Premium is really overpriced. I did premium purely for the custom tracking domain, but majority of the premium features you need to spend a few thousand a month for Shopify Plus to use. The auto-guessing the carrier with premium is almost always wrong. Every day I have to manually assign the carrier to the shipments. Glitches keep happening where it looks like packages are all in one package when there are multiple packages, so I get angry emails from customers demanding refunds when only one item arrives. It keeps importing tracking numbers twice. It also isn't fair that they will only let premium have a custom domain. My Apple and PC devices won't load the AfterShip link because it thinks its spam. I downgraded from the premium $239 a month down to the $59 plan. When you pay that much for an app every month, you expect it to work smoothly. $59 is all its worth to me.

Great support team, came in and helpt me solve a problem trough google meeting.

Rajat was quick and easy to work with! He explained the process very well and I was able to correct an issue within 15 minutes. Nice job!

Great service and helped me with everything I needed.

The best app for tracking which allows notifying by email each customer where the parcel is.

Thank you very much, Ritika !

I appreciate the assistance you provided me today with my AfterShip Tracking account. Your customer service is excellent and very helpful.

This is an absolute joke. The links that are sent out in the trial period only are based on the Premium plan. As soon as the trial period is over those links stop working and your customers get sent to a page that says if you want to track your order click here. Then they get to a tracking page on a subdomain of Aftership where they have to fill out the form again.

here is the funny thing. The plan that supports those links is 240 Euros/Month. So you either pay for that or you have a bunch of customers left with a broken tracking link.

On top of that the UX is horrible. I use so many different software all the time, so I usually find what I look for fairly quickly, but here it takes forever to find what you are looking for, options that are not clearly explained with no help text or anything.

Support sucks balls and just closes tickets which sends you to a bot again and again and again.

I understand, every software gives trials of premium features to increase customer LTV, but giving out features in the trial period that completely stops working unless you purchase the highest plan AND directly effect customers is ridiculous. Now I have a bunch of customers with broken links unless I upgrade to a 240 Euros plan. SMH.

Funny thing is, tracking links is literally to most basic feature a tracking app should offer...

I used Aftership for all my stores between 2017 and 2020 and wanted to implement it again, but as of 2024 its not recommended at all.

So nice service, I having problems with html code, but your guys help me with that. I love it!

Impossible to cancel billing as they make you go through loops to contact people in different departments and because it’s setup separate to Shopify on purpose you will be stuck to it forever.

Installed app and instead of using the free trial I paid a year in advance. Bad move. Kept getting free trial offers and request for a training session from multiple people. Never could get SMS to work. I had a training session scheduled that both of the conflicting support departments missed. I scheduled another but ran out of steam and decided to remove the app. Unfortunately, no refund from the folks, so all I can do is share my story.
Follow-up:
The follow-up is as bad as the original customer service experience. I don't believe anyone reads the responses.
