Overview

Subminimal, a premium coffee equipment brand with a global customer base, partnered with SHIPAID to take control of the post-purchase experience as international order volume scaled. By implementing a brand-led Shipping Guarantee, Subminimal was able to stand behind high-value, fragile shipments while protecting margins and maintaining a premium customer experience. In the last 90 days alone, the Shipping Guarantee generated $7,949.85 in revenue with 66.6% customer opt-in across 7,886 orders, delivering $5,408.03 in net margin and a 3.13x revenue-to-cost ratio. With a 0.37% issue rate, 100% resolution, and zero backlog, Subminimal transformed global delivery uncertainty into a predictable, trust-led system that reduced support friction and reinforced confidence at scale.

The Challenge

Subminimal, renowned for their high-quality coffee making products and patented milk frother, faced unique challenges due to their global reach. The intricate logistics of international shipping - borders, customs, regulations - often resulted in packages being lost, stolen, delayed, or damaged. While striving to shield their customers from these disruptions, Subminimal also needed to protect their bottom line from the associated losses. They required a reliable solution that could provide a safeguard for both their customers and their revenue.

The ShipAid Solution
[A]
SHIPAID enabled Subminimal to guarantee global deliveries under its own brand, turning post-purchase uncertainty into a predictable revenue stream. Over the last 90 days, 5,253 of 7,886 orders were covered, resulting in 66.6% customer opt-in and $7,949.85 in Shipping Guarantee revenue, while still delivering $5,408.03 in net margin and a 3.13x revenue-to-cost ratio.
[B]
SHIPAID’s branded Resolution Portal allowed customers to resolve delivery issues without contacting support. This led to 111 automated order edits, with all 29 delivery issues resolved, 0 issues in review, and a low 0.37% issue rate, eliminating inbox backlogs and operational drag even at international scale.
[C]
By keeping all decisions in-house, Subminimal retained complete control over how delivery issues were handled. SHIPAID supported 100% issue resolution with zero backlog, allowing the team to act quickly and confidently while maintaining consistent, on-brand outcomes for customers worldwide
Positive Impact
As we expanded internationally, SHIPAID helped us take control of the post-purchase experience instead of reacting to it. By offering a Shipping Guarantee under our own brand, we were able to stand confidently behind global deliveries while creating a predictable, revenue-positive system that protected our margins. The self-service resolution experience reduced support strain and allowed issues to be resolved quickly without friction or backlog. Most importantly, it gave our customers confidence during high-risk delivery moments and reinforced the premium experience we expect our brand to deliver worldwide.
The app is great and seamless, and the team behind it is super supportive. Having your own managed package protection fund is the best way to go about this issue because you stay in charge of customer service. I highly recommend it.
