Sendoso acquired both Alyce (February 2024) and Postal.io (April 2025) to consolidate the corporate gifting category. But consolidation has not resolved the platform's core issues. Multiple rounds of layoffs reduced headcount by 34% year over year. Platform fees start at $15K to $25K/year before any gift spend. Delivery times are inconsistent, and hidden shipping and handling fees make budgeting difficult. Teams locked into annual contracts with rising total costs are looking at what else exists.

Before you sign
Five questions to ask any vendor, including Sendoso, before committing to a contract.
What is the total annual cost including platform fees, gift spend, shipping, handling, and storage?
Sendoso charges platform fees ($15K to $100K+/year) separately from gift spend. Shipping, handling ($10 base + $0.85 per item for 10+ items), and storage for branded merchandise are additional. Ask vendors to quote the fully-loaded annual cost for your projected gift volume, not just the platform fee.
Do I pay for gifts that are never delivered or never accepted by the recipient?
Sendoso charges for gifts when they are sent, not when they are accepted. Reachdesk and Goody use pay-on-redemption models where you only pay when the recipient actually accepts. This difference can reduce waste by 15-30% on high-volume campaigns where not every recipient engages.
How reliable is delivery, and what is the average time from send to recipient receipt?
Delivery reliability is Sendoso's most common complaint on G2. Ask vendors for their average delivery time by geography (domestic vs. international), their on-time delivery rate, and what happens when a shipment is delayed or lost. For deal acceleration gifting, a 2-week delivery window defeats the purpose.
What happens with international sends, and which countries are fully supported?
Sendoso's international capabilities lag behind domestic. Ask vendors specifically which countries they fulfill from local warehouses versus cross-border shipping, what the delivery time is for your key international markets, and whether gift options are localized or limited to US catalogs shipped internationally.
What is the company's financial stability, and has there been recent workforce reduction?
Sendoso reduced headcount by 34% year over year with multiple layoff rounds. For a platform that depends on warehouse operations and fulfillment staff, workforce reductions can directly impact delivery reliability and support quality. Ask vendors about their team stability, fulfillment capacity, and support SLAs.
