I had an extremely frustrating experience with AfterShip Returns and honestly regret wasting so much time setting it up.
As a Shopify business owner, I spent HOURS configuring their return portal, workflows, customer messaging, replacement flows, uploads, and policies — only to discover that one of the most basic and essential return workflow features was locked behind a more expensive plan.
Our business simply wanted to approve replacements without forcing customers to return low-value items. This is a completely normal workflow for modern ecommerce businesses. Instead, the system keeps showing customers return shipping instructions and “items you need to return,” which creates confusion and a terrible customer experience.
What makes this worse is:
• Slow customer support responses
• Being passed between multiple agents
• Generic copy-paste replies
• Wasting time explaining the same issue repeatedly
• Basic functionality hidden behind higher pricing tiers
The most disappointing part is that this wasn’t some advanced enterprise feature. It was a simple operational requirement that many Shopify stores would reasonably expect to have access to.
After spending hours onboarding and customizing everything, they eventually told me the feature required upgrading to a more expensive Pro plan just to allow “keep the item” returns/replacements.
So basically:
1. Spend hours setting everything up
2. Discover critical workflow limitations later
3. Pay more money to unlock practical functionality
This feels incredibly misleading from a merchant perspective.
The support team kept apologizing, but apologies don’t give businesses back their wasted time. The overall experience felt designed to push users into higher-tier plans after they are already invested in the setup process.
If you’re considering AfterShip Returns for a serious ecommerce operation, I strongly recommend testing EVERY workflow limitation first before committing time to setup.
For us, this was a huge waste of time, energy, and effort.
To your reply -> thanks for offering printer less returns with Green returns for extra 40 USD a month - completely worth it . Next time do let people know how to use the printerless returns with the green return option
Dear Sports Jersey Direct Team,
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback regarding your application experience. We sincerely apologize for the frustration caused by back-and-forth communication; this is certainly not the standard of service we aim to provide, and your feedback is being reviewed internally to help us improve our support workflow.
We understand how critical the Green Returns workflow is for modern e-commerce operations. While this feature is exclusive to our Pro plan and above, the higher pricing tier is designed to deliver comprehensive value across your entire post-purchase experience. It includes a robust bundle of advanced features tailored for growing businesses, such as:
Printerless Returns (QR Codes): Providing a seamless, drop-off experience for your customers.
Refund to Store Credit & Gift Returns: Helping you retain revenue and drive repeat purchases.
Advanced Automation: Streamlining return request approvals to save your team manual effort.
We truly want to help you find a sustainable solution for your business. To ensure you can thoroughly test this workflow without immediate financial risk, we previously sent an email offering you a free month of our Green Returns functionality to review.
We haven't heard back from you yet, but we have just resent an email with further details on how to activate this offer.
We would love the opportunity to connect and discuss how we can better support your serious e-commerce operations moving forward.
Best regards,
The AfterShip Team
betrug bei der Zahlung und Kündigung!!!!
I have been using this app for a couple years and they have just updated the integration with Shopify so as soon as a return is submitted to their portal (even credit or exchange request) the value of that order comes off your sales total. I have been in contact with the app to understand (unsuccessfully) how it all works as it's a nightmare for reporting. I have been emailing Ryanne for weeks who responds every 8 days. They havent been able to tell me what happens to the sale total when the return is later refunded to a credit (which we offer via a different app). I'm ready to move into a new returns app now the function and the service are both painful.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the frustration you've experienced with our recent integration and our response times. Your concerns are definitely important to us.
We understand how critical accurate reporting is for your business, and we're sorry for any confusion regarding how returns impact your sales total. We're actively working to improve our communication and the functionality of the app.
Our team is trying to connect with you to help you at earliest. Please respond to their email.

The the way users are managed is unfair and broken. Why do I need to pay for additional seats on top of the per-return rate.
Avoid.
Hello Blundstone UK Team,
I understand how you feel; however, our role-based user management is standard practice across SaaS applications worldwide.
This provides a better way to manage a Small to Large business without needing to share the same Admin credentials with everyone in your team to access AfterShip.
You can continue to use AfterShip with a single owner account and not opt for additional seats if you prefer, and this is the reason we have the Member seats as an optional add-on to allow merchants to scale up as per their business requirements.
We'll consider it as feedback and see how we can incorporate member seats in existing subscriptions. If you have any more suggestions, please visit our Ideas Portal.

Been using the app for some years now and it was doing an amazing job. But recently they have brought a lot of changes in it and nothing is working like before. I am not even able to access the app altogether. It keeps asking to make new profile and pay them again and again! Im furious!! Totally unreliable! My customers are filling the return forms but my team can't access them! The customers are shouting at us for delaying the returns!
Dear AfterShip Returns Center user,
We are so sorry if you feel that way. We apologize for the inconvenience that you’ve been facing lately.
We understand your frustration, as every little detail matters for your business. But we want to kindly remind you that the multi-membership could be the crux that causes your concern.
Returns Center has introduced multi-membership that allow you to run your store with less hassle. You can invite some teammates to your organization and each member is able to log in with their own account and get access to your organization. This is where your disruption might come from. If you try to log in with different email addresses, our system may reckon that there are from different new member to your organization. And that’s why you’re asked to set up new profile for several times.
You can subscribe a plan for multi-membership that best fits for your business. And if you don’t want any subscription, you could also allow all your teammates to log in Returns Center with the same email address. But please be aware that only one single login is allowed at the same time.
As our distinguished customer, we will try our best to improve your experience with us. Our support team has already reached out to you to help you set up quickly, so you can have your business running up well.
Supports DPD NL for automated returns labels, but not DPD UK.... The automated UPS Labels also show the Product Title on the label itself, which cannot be turned off. This leaves you open to having your parcel stolen, when anyone who looks at the label can see what is inside.
Thank you for your valuable feedback.
It is unfortunate to know that you didn't have the best experience using our app and wished for the features to be more flexible. For now we only support DPD NL and DPD UK is not supported yet. However, we are continuously working to improve the application, integrate more couriers and introduce more features. So in future, you will be glad to see more couriers integrated and new features launched to make your experience better.
As for your query related to UPS labels and the product title, we would like to understand your concern better. One of our support advisor will contact you via email in order to get this resolved for you. Kindly reply to the email and we will surely get all your issues resolved and make you a happy customer!
I regret the inconvenience caused to you.
Regards,
Neelima Aggarwal

Support is one of the least helpful I have ever interacted with. Do not use these guys if you are a larger business. Nothing but headache awaits you and your customers. I have attempted messaging them multiple times, and each time they give me information not pertinent to the question I am asking. Sadly, I am too far in to back out now, but if this is tied with another solution for you, pick the other one.
**Email notifications weren't going through to our team (kind of a big deal), still waiting on their live chat support to resolve it, going on 2.5 hours. Very disappointed in an app I really liked and have used for multiple stores.

First off, not very professional in asking me to give 5 star review after i was asked to give my review (I put 4 star because I did not have much information in how the app works and I was then asked to delete until I got my answer on how I feel the app) I was told I can do international shipping with the free program, but I feel the customer service didn't understand my question or help me. I had to figure it out myself. The person also gave me the wrong answer to the question I asked because I tried to create a return label and it stated the free program does not support international return label, when I kept asking which program supports international return label shipping at the cheapest cost. Going to go through customer service one more time and see if my experience has changed.
