At Last vs Loop Returns

At Last is a platform for automating returns and exchanges across UK and global sales channels. It is presented for retailers, brands, 3PLs, fulfilment providers, and circular technology providers. Its branded consumer portal supports tracking and exchanges, while returns workflows can look up orders automatically, provide real-time updates, use paperless labels, show embedded maps, and arrange home collection. Sell and Exchange can display products for exchanges, upsells, and new orders, with orders drafted automatically for the commerce platform. At Last International handles shipments from 200+ countries and includes customs handling and Returns Goods Relief. A business dashboard shows shipments in real time and supports returns, deliveries, and collections. Integrations include Shopify, Rithum, Mirakl, WooCommerce, and Mintsoft, with an API for other storefronts. The free Return to Zero plan includes all features but requires at least 250 monthly shipments and customer-paid returns. Starter is £95 a month; Pro is £225 a month.

Loop Returns is a self-service portal for automating ecommerce returns, from applying a brand’s policies through resolving a return. Brands can set rules by region, warehouse, and product, then present exchanges or incentives as alternatives to refunds. Loop Intelligence flags unusual return activity for teams to assess for possible fraud. Shipping options include global carrier integrations, point-of-sale drop-off, and box-free returns through partners such as Happy Returns. Loop lists integrations with 120+ Shopify apps, including Klaviyo, Gorgias, and Attentive, and provides API and webhook connections for return data in third-party systems. The service supports web and API use. A free Checkout+ plan is listed; Essential starts at $155 a month, and Advanced at $340 a month. Loop describes itself as SOC 2 certified, says stored data is encrypted at rest with AES-256, and says its practices adhere to regulations including GDPR and CCPA. It advertises 24/5 support, an average response time under two hours, and a 99.9% uptime guarantee.
