About us 💙
At Returnless, we are on track to become the leading return solution in Europe. In just three years, our small team has grown into a platform that assists 1250+ online retailers in streamlining their returns. We proudly serve prominent retailers such as My Jewellery, Kamera Express, Josh V, and others. Currently, we operate in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany with a team of 29 enthusiastic colleagues.
We work with the Shape Up method from Basecamp — a product development approach that gives our team autonomy, clarity, and focus. It means no endless backlogs or chaotic sprints, but clear six-week cycles where we shape work together and deliver with ownership. We believe strongly in this way of working and even share our experiences about it at meetups and events.
