Description

Returnmates is a fast-growing, seed-stage, LA-based technology and logistics startup that provides brands with a customer-centric delivery and returns experience for their shoppers. Our mission is to make online shopping more enjoyable by creating a seamless post purchase experience. We combine technology and logistics to provide a white-glove service for consumers -- step by step delivery tracking, SMS customer support, and boxless, printerless (!) doorstep returns.
