Returns piled by your door? We come pick them up. SnapBack Returns is the doorstep return service for people who'd rather get their refund than spend their Saturday at the UPS store. You schedule a pickup window in the app, we come to your door, pick up all your packages at once, and hand them off at the carrier with your prepaid label or return QR code (USPS, UPS, or FedEx), with handoff confirmation from your door to the carrier counter. Your first pickup is free. Use code FREEFIRST at checkout. WHAT YOU GET • Doorstep pickup, scheduled in 90 seconds • Multi-package pickup — one trip handles all your returns • Handoff confirmation from your door to the carrier counter • Return-deadline alerts so you never miss a refund window • Return windows and policies for the brands you shop, right on your dashboard • Gmail sync that finds returnable purchases across major retailers WHO IT'S FOR • Households drowning in mixed-store returns (Amazon + Target + Old Navy + your sister's package) • Parents juggling pickups while running everyone else's life • Anyone who's looked at a returns pile and thought "I'll do it next week" for three months WHY IT WORKS Half of shoppers kept something last year because returning it was a hassle. The average household sends back about $2,700 of online orders a year, and heavy returners leave $500–$1,000 of it on the table — windows that closed, packages that never made it back. SnapBack puts the time tax of returning any package between zero and 90 seconds. You schedule. We handle the rest. Download today. First pickup is on us.
