Why this template
- Includes a dedicated AI follow-up interview question that lets respondents describe their delivery/returns experience in their own words, with adaptive probing beyond fixed scales
- Covers the full post-purchase journey in one flow: delivery speed and expectations, communication channels/timeliness/clarity, and ease of the returns and refund process
- Includes an NPS-style recommendation question plus an open-text 'single most important improvement' question, giving both quantifiable and actionable qualitative signal
- Captures demographic segmentation (age, gender, location) alongside purchase frequency, enabling cross-cuts on satisfaction and repurchase intent
QuestionPro
Customer satisfaction survey questions | Customer satisfaction survey exampleThis is a general customer satisfaction survey template with example questions and guidance, not one built specifically around delivery timeliness and returns/refunds. It's fielding-ready as a generic CSAT instrument, but ecommerce teams would need to adapt or add questions to cover order communication and return experience in depth.
What it does well
- Established survey platform with a broad template library and example question sets
- Provides guidance/context alongside the template, useful for teams new to CSAT design
- Likely supports standard question types (rating, multiple choice, open text) for quick deployment
Where it falls short
- Static question set with no adaptive AI follow-up to probe why a customer rated something poorly
- No voice AI interview or guided screen-share task option for richer experience capture
- No visible automated per-response quality scoring or transparent prompt/methodology disclosure
