Route Protection and Tracking

Waste of time. The insurance option never appeared on the checkout and continuous efforts to get support never yielded any results. The app is a great idea and Shopify desperately needs a working app for shipping insurance but unfortunately this app is note ready for prime time :(

I had to uninstall this app. It feels scammy. They would not credit me for purchases that were cancelled. There is no way to reconcile the charges. The customer service is non-existent.

Stay away.

Terrible app. I have barely had this app for a month and it is terrible. I received several emails to update my billing (which does not even make sense as there have been NO changes with my billing), I try to login in to see what the issue is and I get an error stating there is no account associated with my email. HUH? HOW? I went through my list of emails and nothing. I send in a support request (mind you, it took 5 days to get any sort of response from customer support) and they say the only email they have on file is THE ONE I HAD TYPED IN 5 TIMES. Absolutely ridiculous and frustrating and now I have tons of orders with no package coverage because of this terrible app.

This has seriously been a game changer when it comes to providing the best experience for our businesses. It's free for us to have it on our site and the tracking app is incredible for our customers (also free). We manage several sites and we have had dozens of customers specifically mention how great it was working with Route, so I'm not sure where these other reviews are coming from.

I was reading some of the reviews - Route has been delayed slightly the past few weeks due to COVID-19 (so have we) but they messaged me proactively letting me know at the start of the month. Just got a notification from them that they're back to usual resolve times this week. If you're on the fence, try it. You won't be disappointed.

It has helped customers feel more secure when ordering knowing their order is covered if lost/stolen

This app is a no brainer for brands that care about their customers. Install was easy. We have seen the majority of our customers add Route Insurance to their carts. Route solves a real problem for us. USPS has inconsistent deliveries at times, packages get stolen, and a host of other issues which are out of our control, yet, impact our ability to delight customers.

We love Route for solving this issue. You should too.

The integration process was easy, and our Reps, Easton and Karlee are super knowledgeable and very quick to respond. We are early in the adoption process however Route has already deflected several issues from our Consumer Affairs team. I expect this number will only grow from here!

It's a good idea and I guess it gives customers confidence. Although I'm not sure how the claim process works since my customers didn't have to make a claim. My problem with Route is that they claim that the service is free, while it's not. The way it works is the customer adds to cart "Route package protection" as an insurance and basically adds that cost to the order. Then, Route charges me for that same cost, the merchant is just the middle man, in theory. But in reality, they don't take into account fees associated with the sale (shopify fee, paypal fee etc...). Which is a few cents per order. It might not seem a lot for 1 order but on thousands of orders it starts to add up. Moreover, it's not free as they advertise it, and they know it. When confronting support about it they tried to circumvent the problem saying it's "paypal's fault, contact paypal, it's your store's fault etc..." But it's not, it's the way the app works. At one point after all the evidence I brought and when they couldn't deny anymore, they just stopped responding, I deleted the app. The concept is good, but shady practices and poor customer service doesn't make me want to continue with them. Moreover after reading the last reviews, I'm happy I don't have to deal with them anymore. You shouldn't either.

Route has helped my business a ton. We lose a lot of packages via USPS and route takes care of all it. It can be such a headache dealing with shipping issues. I highly recommend route for any small or growing business.

We have been using Route for almost two years now and have experienced nothing but top of the line support from their team members! We recently merged to a new system and although there were a few hiccups, Justin Boyce and Adam Casper did everything they could to resolve any issues in a timely manner and they always make us feel like a top priority. They repeatedly come to us with solutions should any problems arise and always have a positive attitude! All in all, 10/10 experience.
