The same job list you’d hand a hire — order admin, customer replies, refunds, chasing — done by Felix, an operator who bills when the work is delivered.
Talk to FelixReturn #3411 requested Friday: customer wants a refund, the parcel already left the 3PL.
I’ll process the refund minus the return label cost, email her the RMA, and close the ticket.
You approve the price before Felix acts.
Human assistants are real people doing good work — the friction is structural, not personal. It’s what hourly hiring does to a small store.
Hourly rates buy time, not finished work. Slow week or busy week, the invoice looks the same.
Two weeks of SOPs and store walkthroughs before the first real task — again, every time.
VAs move on. You rehire, retrain, and lose the store knowledge walking out the door.
And still, the help is worth it — because the work is real. The fix isn’t less help. It’s a different deal.
These are the tasks that eat a store owner’s week — and the ones Felix takes on day one, no training required.
“Where’s my order?” with the real tracking data, not a canned line.
Full or partial, processed in WooCommerce while you watch.
Address fixes, item swaps, quantity changes — before the parcel ships.
Return requests handled end to end, subscription pauses included.
Stuck tracking? He emails the warehouse until it moves.
Prices, stock, and product details checked and corrected in the store.
A hire you supervise in Slack: every consequential move is proposed first, and every job runs in a glass box — you see each step as it happens.
