Route ‑ Protection & Tracking

We have been using Route for over 4 years now. Hands down it has been one of the biggest game changers for our company and has saved us tens of thousands of dollars in shipping and product, as well as countless hours of TIME.

I recommend Route to anyone who runs an ecommerce site for ease on your CS team and saving on shipping/product costs.

I do not recommend this application for the Shopify store, no competent customer service, no contact with technical support, the application does not work, they charge fees, but they are unable to provide service. You have to wait weeks for someone to respond, unfortunately, do not delude yourself, because they will not help you.

Route has been a great support to our business. Their help in providing assistance to our customers who deal with the frustrating experience of lost, stolen, or damaged packages has been invaluable. Route has also saved us a GREAT deal of time, stress and money with these incidents as well. I actually can no longer imagine running my business without Route, and I'm very grateful for all of the one-on-one assistance Route has provided us in the past 3-4 years.

Route has been a pleasure to work with from the start. We’ve been working with Route for package protection for the last 3+ years and over a year ago added the track service as well. It’s been nothing but a breeze working with them and the team. Additionally, we have had very specific issues throughout the years and route has always stepped up and assisted us in finding a solution. I highly recommend!

They promise fast replies and resolutions, but every time we need a reimbursed claim, I have to chase them down. Their customer service is bad, and they can take up to 4 days to reply, if they ever even reply at all

The people who got me onboarded and convinced with this are nowhere to be found, and their emails just bounce. Not happy with how difficult they make this app

Seems like they make it really hard for anyone to get their money back from claims

STILL having so many issues with this app years later. Now wont even add to any orders... Cant even get in contact with anyone.

Route's been a game changer for not just our shipping protection but a tremendous value add on the customer service side and creating confidence for customers. The team's always diligent and helpful as well and addresses exceptions as needed. Really appreciate the team especially Justin!

I contacted Route customer support on December 20th regarding a missing reimbursement for an order they gave to a customer (from my funds) for an order back in September. They did not respond after several emails and contact through the Shopify app. Finally on December 26th they responded. Once I finally had someone respond I let them know that on that order the customer had also filed a chargeback for the Route insurance, in which I had previously contacted Shopify customer service about. The customer's bank sided with the customer. Shopify charged me the chargeback fee, even thought I didn't have the customer's Route insurance fee -- Route does. The chargeback should have been with Route. It is now January 5th. Route customer insurance keeps telling me to be patient that they are waiting on their billing department. I have followed up eleven times and asked for a supervisor four times. Route keeps telling me to be patient. They will NOT connect me with a supervisor.

1. Customer's Chargeback on order #***** Shopify charged me for both Route’s insurance fee (which was refunded to the customer) and the chargeback fee. The chargeback should have been handled by Route, not me.

2. Missing Reimbursement from Route: The main issue with Route is their failure to reimburse me for the amount refunded to the customer for the same order (#*****) due to an insurance claim through Route by the customer. This refund came out of my funds in September, yet Route has not returned the money to me.

To summarize, there are two separate concerns for the same order #*****: The missing reimbursement from Route for the refund they issued to the customer. The Shopify chargeback for Route’s insurance fee and the associated chargeback fee for the same order.

This insurance app is NOT recommended. Instead from an in-house insurance app to use on your store.

Route has been a great addition to our tech stack and has alleviated many customer service headaches when it comes to lost and damaged packages. The install of the app is easy and the team is always responsive when we have requests or questions.

Very happy with the relationship we have developed with the Route team and will continue to exclusively offer this to our customers.

This app is horrible now I have to constantly keep emailing back-and-forth for them to attach the route feature to my checkout. It was on my checkout for about a year and now all of a sudden it disappeared and I’ve gone back-and-forth for weeks now trying to get them to add it back to my cart I don’t understand why so difficult. On top of that every single time I try to login it tells me my password doesn’t work and every single time I go to change my password. It still tells me the new password that I changed it to doesn’t work. The only time that it lets me login is when I have to email somebody they have to send me password reset link and then it will work. I don’t understand what is wrong with this app and why it is so horrible now

Our business loves the services that Route offers. It is so nice to have an extra layer of protection on an order that doesn't leave us responsible for something that happens in shipping. Annabelle Jackson, our customer success manager, has been so great to work with! She keeps us in the loop about new services and always helps us find ways to best use our funds!
