Route Protection and Tracking

Working well and customers enjoy the ability to protect their orders. The route platform is not as user friendly and how it works from a merchant standpoint is not explained thoroughly.

Route has been great. Our success manager Robert has been there at every step to help, and our customers have been taken care of quickly when shipping services fall short.

Great app. My customers have had no complaints so far and it seems fairly easy to add and use if necessary.

The dashboard on this app has been almost useless for us. It will only show you 7 day views and nothing is able to be exported. We were expecting a much better UX and feature set based on having several calls with the Route team that unfortunately was not there. Now we're already removing the app (which all our customers have now seen) from our store just a month after launching. Was not worth the hassle it's created.

Banner is not showing properly on mobile and desktop. Option does not appear at checkout. Contacted customer service atleast 5x for days and NO RESPONSE. Terrible service!

We've been using Route for a few weeks now and so far it's been great! Set up was very easy and the route support team has been excellent! We haven't had any customers need to use the service yet so I can't comment there, but most customers have purchased and I love being able to give them the option. The plugin looks great on our site and isn't too intrusive. That helps me know it's not affecting the conversion rate in a negative way... I'm willing to bet it'll increase it as customers will feel more secure about their purchase, especially since our product is a high enough price point that customers would be worried about losing it in the mail, etc. Super happy with Route, great app/service!

Amazing app! We (along with every other Shopify store) have been waiting for a shipping insurance option for years and were just referred to Route. Great feedback from our customers with them adding Route to their orders, I would say a must have FREE app!

A company that will pay for all your customers' lost, stolen and damaged packages at no cost to you? If it sounds too good to be true, it might be. Over six weeks, Route paid five claims for lost and stolen packages. But our first damage claim—and more importantly, the company's handling of it—caused us to deactivate the app.

We sell luxury baby gear, so the safety and integrity of our products is of the utmost importance. A customer contacted Route when her $1,400 product arrived with a 3-foot gash and numerous holes in the box, which resulted in scratches and dents. Route tersely informed her that she was not eligible for a replacement or refund because the damages were "only cosmetic," not functional. Route instead offered a $150 refund, which would not come close to covering the cost of replacement parts. The customer was outraged and is planning to file a chargeback against us, which would quickly erase the financial gains we made with Route.

Route's website makes no mention to customers or retailers that claims may be only partially covered. Prior to implementation, the sales rep assured us repeatedly that Route does not meddle in the details of claims—he said their goal is to make these claims easy for both us and the customer. In reality, they are asking customers to file police reports for any lost item over $100, and their team is arguing with customers about the value of damaged products. Plus, our account manager on multiple occasions threatened to raise our rate from 1% to 3% because we had five claims in six weeks. Route will work for you some of the time or hopefully, even most of the time. But for us, the benefits did not outweigh the risk to our customer satisfaction and company reputation.

Probably the worst app I've ever attempted to use. And their customer service is also not the best. I emailed them for a month as the app was bugging my checkout flow and I lost sells due to them, but I still wanted to use the app and their answer after making me wait this long was "I have just asked the implementation team about this issue and they let me know that it won't be fixed anytime soon considering the backlog of bugs currently in queue. They are also having a difficult time replicating the issue so it will take a while to fix. I don't have an ETA from them on when this could be fixed. I'm terribly sorry about that, but I will keep this ticket in my "on-hold" queue and let you know when I have any updates." A literal "we don't care!".

It increased my conversion rate immensely. Incredible service. Nearly every customer snags Route shipping insurance on their way to check-out, and it gives me and them peace of mind. Definitely recommend, I don't know why anyone wouldn't use this service!
