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.

Pineapple shows you everything you buy online, in one place, so you stay in control of it. Connect your Gmail and Pineapple finds your order emails on its own. There's nothing to type and no bank login. EVERYTHING YOU BOUGHT Every order shows up with what it was, where it is (Ordered, Shipped, Delivered) and what it cost. SEE WHERE YOUR MONEY GOES See every item you bought, sorted by category and store, and what you spent this month or over any period you choose. SET A SPENDING LIMIT Pick the shopping you'd like to cut back on, like Clothing & Shoes or one store, and set a limit. Perle shows what's left, and refunds count back toward it. EVERY RETURN WINDOW IN SIGHT Pineapple works out each purchase's return deadline and reminds you before one closes. Tap Return and Pineapple opens the store's own return page with your order number copied. REFUNDS, TRACKED Pineapple reads the store's emails and shows each return until its refund arrives, with what's still to come. PINEAPPLE PLUS Your purchases, what you spent, refunds, deadlines and reminders are free. Plus goes deeper: every month in detail and your shopping patterns, more than one spending limit, all of Perle's suggested priorities, a second inbox, the original store emails, and export to a spreadsheet.
