Though it might seem like a contradiction, it is sometimes possible to return non-returnable items. There are a few ways to do this, but the most reliable is buying return coverage on non-returnable items. You’ll typically see this type of coverage as an optional add-on at the checkout of an online store. So, how does … Read more
Delivery issues (damage in transit, porch piracy, major delays) have become a major problem in the online shopping era. Route’s shipping protection service offers a potential solution to this problem, but the platform has a number of well-documented shortcomings. It might be one of the leading names in shipping protection, but it’s far from perfect. … Read more
While Seel and Redo offer similar features as post-purchase protection add-ons, there are important distinctions between them. Both tools reduce support volume and make post‑purchase experiences more predictable. However, there’s significant overlap around shipping protection, returns, and the way claims are handled for shoppers. They take notably different approaches to risk and product scope, and … Read more
Seel and Extend both offer extended warranty and post‑purchase protection solutions for ecommerce and retail brands.

If you regularly shop online, you may already be familiar with Seel and Route. Both show up as little optional add‑ons at checkout that promise to protect your shipment in the event of something going wrong in transit (loss, theft, damage, and so on).

Keeping internal documentation current is mostly a workflow and format challenge. If you make docs easy to capture and simple to update, staleness will be much less of a problem. Of course, that’s easier said than done. Documentation decays for various reasons. Rapid change is one of the biggest culprits: when no one treats documentation … Read more
Justworks is a solid option if you need to fully outsource your HR. It bundles payroll, benefits, and compliance into one package through a co-employment arrangement, which means Justworks technically becomes the employer of record for your team while you handle the day-to-day.

Empire Flippers is where many sellers land when they start thinking about selling their online business. It’s a hybrid between a marketplace and a broker (closer to the former, but with more guardrails than most), where every listing is verified before it goes live: financials, traffic, revenue claims, the works. It also rejects around 95% … Read more
When one of your eCommerce store’s shoppers tries to complain about a delayed parcel, a damaged item, or a missing refund, your agent needs order context as quickly as possible.

There are a lot of good things to be said about RingCentral. It offers enterprise-grade reliability, has 500+ pre-built integrations, and gives businesses a unified layer for calls, messages, meetings, and contact-center use cases. You can’t say the same of every UCaaS provider. However, the day-to-day operating experience often feels heavier than it should. Pricing … Read more
