Redo vs 80 Acres Farms

About

Redo was founded in Pleasant Grove, Utah to bring a novel pricing model to the post-purchase experience category: instead of charging merchants per return or per shipment, Redo offers a bundled coverage product that merchants sell to customers at checkout as an optional add-on. Customers pay a small fee to unlock free returns, warranty protection, and package protection on their order, while Redo collects those fees and pays for the cost of returns and claims, creating a self-funding post-purchase operations model for the merchant.\n\nThe Redo platform handles the operational layer behind this coverage model, providing self-service returns portals, automated exchange workflows, warranty claim management, and package protection claims processing. For merchants, the value proposition is a meaningful reduction in net return costs if claim rates are lower than expected, and a fully funded returns operation if take rates on the coverage add-on are high enough to cover processing costs entirely.\n\nRedo targets Shopify-native DTC brands that are looking for an alternative to traditional returns management platforms, particularly those with higher average order values and product categories where warranty and package protection are credible value-adds to customers. The company competes against Loop Returns and AfterShip Returns in the returns management category while occupying a distinct business model niche with its customer-funded coverage approach.
