MailerSend is a powerful transactional messaging service that gives developers a quick start in setting up transactional email and SMS, while also allowing marketing and design teams to easily contribute without coding skills.
appreciates the straightforward setup and template management. However, some users report issues with account suspension and lack of refunds. Overall, MailerSend is valued for its efficiency and user-friendly features.
They can cancel your account at will without any refund — and the whole point is, you paid for a service you couldn’t even use!
This was my first time using this company’s email API. When the test went smoothly, I proceeded to pay for a 100K email subscription plan.
On my very first send, after sending only around 1,000 emails, they notified me that my email list had a high bounce rate (around 10%) and suspended my account.
Alright, so maybe we can recheck our email list and resubmit?
MailerSend: No! Your email bounce rate is too high — your account is being SUSPENDED immediately!
Me: Fine, then how about a refund?
MailerSend: No, because you violated our policy, there will be no refund!
I’m really curious — is this some new business model now? If a customer accidentally violates an alleged policy, you can just suspend their account, not provide any service, and keep the money without issuing a refund?
I’m not sure if this is legal, but we reserve all rights to pursue legal action.
Well, one good thing did come out of this: thanks to MailerSend’s terrible experience, we found another email service provider that is more than 50% cheaper — and successfully delivered all of our emails.
WELL DONE!
Transactional emails are a must for every business, and MailerSend made it really easy to use the SMTP to notify my users of any changes. I found great support from their team as well.
