### "It's a No-Brainer"

December 21, 2018

5.0

The refunds I'm receiving are amazing and I don't have to lift a finger! Bravo!

Pros

Refund Geeks gets money back for my shipments which were late according to the shippers' terms and conditions. These are refunds I would not normally have time to do the work to get, so this service is a no-brainer. I get money back for doing nothing!

Cons

What's not to like? I get refunds for doing absolutely nothing!

### "Great Service "

December 21, 2018

5.0

We're happy with the service they provide, the only thing we would change is the percentage that they take for getting us the reimbursement.

Pros

We've been using their services for a couple of months now and we are pleased with them. They are able to manage our shipments and make sure that we are reimbursed for late shipments. This saves us a lot of time and we are very happy with it!

Cons

They take a pretty big cut of the reimbursement. Granted we don't have to do anything to get our money back, but they do take quite a bit of it.

### "Well I have my doubts but I do like the concept"

February 12, 2019

3.0

Pros

Since no monthly , my ROI was not bad, just harder to set up and implement, but the idea of this cost management was really a great idea!

Cons

Like I said not as easy as I would have liked and thought it would do a little more

### "Set it and forget it!"

December 27, 2018

5.0

Prior to being referred to Refund Geeks we were only getting credits for missed deliveries that customers brought to our attention. Now we have a great monitoring system giving us a montly refund that we would have never gotten.

Pros

The application is easy to use and straight forward. You get a weekly update on your refunds you receive as well as one place to look at your invoices from any shipping provider. Customer service is great with a quick response on email.

Cons

Altho email is the quickest communciation, maybe a instant chat for any quick questions.

### "Easy to use and automated"

December 21, 2018

5.0

We used to only receieve refunds on packages we knew were late due to a customer calling. We have gone from less than $250 a month in refunds to over $1000 a month in refunds.

Pros

The application does exactly what they say it will. I have had zero issues with the software and find its features very hepful. I would recommend Refund Geeks to anyone who does a lot of shipping.

Cons

None at all. During our startup call I told the support staff of some reports that would be nice, but its not preventing the software from doing its job at all.

### "Refund Geeks Works!"

December 27, 2018

5.0

Overall experience has been pleasant. Customer service response is fairly quick and on-point. Would definitely refer Refund Geeks to others.

Pros

Easy to understand reporting, automated, seamless integration with our UPS account

Cons

Would love to see more robust reporting features, different types of metrics. Integration with USPS would be huge as well.

### "Great Service"

December 22, 2018

5.0

Since I am not actively involved in the business now, and is run by employees only, Refund geeks take care of the credits due back to us. With their fee of 25% it is reasonable and time saving service. Would definitely recommend to others.

Pros

Once we put our FedEx and UPS info. they take care of the rest. Very easy to use

Cons

Nothing at the moment. It is simple to use.

### "Review of ShipScience"

July 18, 2023

5.0

ShipScience helps us make sure that we are getting the best rates for shipping parcels based on our volume.The definitely have saved us more money than we would have done on our own. It also gives us peace of mind.

Pros

Shipscience helps us negotiate with major shippers that we deal with.What I like is that they assured us that we would save over 2x times what we spent with them and so far they are meeting that objective. This to me is the absolute most important criteria to judge the relationship on and ShipScience has accomplished this to date.

Cons

ShipScience was very involved at the beginning of engagement and toward the end of year one. They also responded timely to any questions we have had. I would have liked to have seen a recurring meeting put on calendar as opposed to them responding to us when we had a question. (very minor complaint in comparison to the value they have added for us)

Reason for choosing ShipScience Platform

ShipScience came up with a savings guarantee as opposed to a percentage of savings. Liked their approach.Given that they have successfully saved us over two times our investment so far, it is very likely we will continue with the relationship.

### "Ship Science Review"

Pros

Cons

### "Covers the basics"

December 21, 2018

4.0

Pros

Set it and forget it. Installation and configuration is fast and easy. Once up and running, it runs itself and recovers our UPS reimbursements that would take too long for us to manage manually.

Cons

1). We used a competitor's product for several years before Refund Geeks. For whatever reason, RG attempts to seek reimbursement from UPS for packages that were actually delivered on time. We receive lots of false-positive emails from UPS saying the claim was denied. 2). If you manually file a damage claim with UPS, RG takes their percentage off of those as well. $200 item damaged, $200 claim filed by me personally, UPS pays $200 claim, RG deducts their commission from my account. Not cool.

Thanks for your review! We appreciate the feedback and strive to make sure you're 100% satisfied with our product and service. To address the cons you've mentioned: 1) We released an update to our algorithms on 12/26/18 that greatly reduces the "false positives". If you don't see a reduction in those emails, please let us know so we can continue to improve upon our identification systems. 2) Our system is designed to only take fees for any transaction we initiated. This is actually a feature that many of our competitors don't have. If you have an example where fees were assessed incorrectly, please send it to support@refundgeeks.com so we can review it. If confirmed, we would immediately credit you for the fees. Thanks for your business! :)

### "Best Find of 2018!"

December 28, 2018

5.0

Very professional from start to finish, always available for any questions or directions. Proactive with communication. It's a Win Win Win

Pros

Everything about this works for a small business with no time to audit and chase down refunds owed by UPS and FedEx. They do all the processes: researching, requesting and documenting refunds. They also do an outstanding job of explaining the entire process during the welcome call.

Cons

There is nothing not to like! I wish we had time to delve more into the analytics provided.

December 21, 2018

5.0

Simple and easy. Sign in and get your cash back.

Pros

It's as easy as signing into your UPS account. We use to run access programs to track delivery dates for late shipments. It was a headache at times due to UPS changing it's platform. Since we signed up for Refund Geeks, we haven't had a single problem with refunds.

Cons

We only been with them for 4 months so we do not have much here.

### "Worth it!"

November 21, 2019

4.0

Overall, I would definitely Refund Geeks to make sure you get what is owed to you in late shipments!

Pros

I loved how easy Refund Geeks was to set up. I was able to get refunds from a few order that I wouldn't have noticed before!

Cons

The thing I like least about Refund Geeks is that they are not available for chat (although their customer service does reply quickly).
