Happy Returns vs. ShipperHQ

Happy Returns are best suited for retail stores and ecom where customers need to return or exchange goods. Happy Returns have a number of options and levels of return services they can offer. Having return bar partners like FedEx opens up many local return drop-off locations making it much more convenient for the customer as well as having the option to mail the good back by easily printing a pre-paid return label.

ShipperHQ is almost too heavy-handed for our use case. We are only a single-origin shipper so we don't need the advanced functionality of multi-origin or drop-shipping. It is suited much better for organizations that have multiple origins or that use drop-ship facilities, or even a company managing multiple different eCommerce websites. We opted to go with it because of its great reviews, combined with less than stellar reviews of the competition.

• The user interface is a little tricky. It is not as easy to navigate as other shipping apps.
• I wish that ShipperHQ had the functionality to print shipping labels and manage shipments. We currently have to use a different third-party app for shipment management.
• I would also like to see the option for adding shipping rules if shipping management was integrated.

I give ShipperHQ a 10/10 because the software does exactly what it says, and has a rock-solid support team to help get everything set up. The features are pretty easy to use and implement.

I'm not giving a 10/10 because I did need a little hand-holding to get through the initial setup. Overall, it's not that difficult to use once you understand how to apply custom dimensional rules.

Their support is the primary reason I elected to purchase a premium. They helped a lot with the initial set up.

We migrated from Narvar to Happy Returns for a number of reasons. Happy Returns had a better Shopify integration and the process for customers to return via the website was much easier for customers. The Happy Returns admin UI is simple, modern, and easy to navigate. Happy Returns offers features like return bars, exchanges, and site credit that allowed us to give our customers options in how they return in an easy way without any development cost. Our experience with Narvar was the opposite.

USPS only allows you to use their services (obviously). It was sluggish and often offline. The shipsaver insurance saves us money. We had to guess shipping costs for items instead of entering their weights and sizes ahead of time. It integrates with our e-commerce site. Glad we have it now.

Incentivized

• We have seen an increase in customer retention
• Customer service spends less time servicing return issues

Incentivized

• ShipperHQ is reliable and requires little to no maintenance, which for a small crew like ours is invaluable.
• ShipperHQ also offers the option to display either retail shipping rates or our discounted rates to our customers. This is handy because we can display those discounted rates, which results in higher conversion and fewer abandoned carts due to high shipping costs.
• One negative, however, is that since ShipperHQ lacks the ability to manage shipments, we have had to use another third party app which increases overhead.
