Ecommerce customer service outsourcing answers "does this run small?", order-status, shipping and sizing questions the moment they land, on whichever channel the shopper used. A shopper who hears nothing back doesn't wait, they buy from the next store in their feed.
30 minutes, no pitch. If your gap is small, you will be told that.
Only the first one needs anything from you, and it takes a single conversation.
Sizing, shipping timelines, return windows, and the questions shoppers ask before and after they buy.
Replies read like your store texting back, not a generic support bot copy-pasting a help doc.
Instagram DM, Facebook Shop chat, website chat or SMS, a question gets a reply in seconds no matter where it lands.
Routine order-status and sizing questions get handled outright; a genuine problem gets flagged and handed off.
Most ecommerce messages are the same five questions on repeat: where's my order, can I exchange this, does this come in another size, and they arrive on Instagram DMs and Facebook Shop chat as often as email.
Compare a flat monthly fee against the sales lost to a shopper who DMs a sizing question and never hears back, then buys from a competitor who replied.
Now count last month's unanswered messages, and the decision usually makes itself.

No pitch, just a conversation. Pick a time that works and tell us a little about your store.
