Refund Retriever alternative: a flat price instead of up to 50% of refunds
Refund Retriever audits UPS and FedEx invoices and bills a percentage of the credits it recovers; published comparisons report rates of 40–50% depending on your shipping spend. ParcelAudit charges a flat monthly price instead, so the refunds are yours.

When Refund Retriever is the better fit
If you have no time at all and are fine giving up a large share of each refund, a fully managed contingency service is simple: nothing recovered, nothing paid.
When ParcelAudit is the better fit
At a 40–50% fee, a store recovering $800 a month pays $320–400 for the service. On ParcelAudit the same store pays a flat plan and keeps the rest. You also see every finding yourself and never hand over your carrier login.
Want it done for you anyway? Our done-for-you service files the claims for 25% of what is recovered.
