Route ‑ Protection & Tracking

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.

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

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.

We've had Route for two years and honestly, the agents that we had before our current agent (Shout out to Atakeli!) were nowhere near as responsive as he is.

It makes such a difference and we will continue to have Route as a part of our online business. Nowadays, most claims are resolved in under a week.

I worked with Route for over a year. At the start, their onboarding team was excellent and very welcoming. Unfortunately, everything after that went downhill. Customer service became rude, unhelpful, and extremely difficult to work with.

Throughout my time with them, I felt like I was simply giving the company money while my customers got nothing in return. The service provided no real value or protection to my shoppers.

When I decided to remove Route from my website, the experience was even worse. They offered minimal help to remove the code they had added and kept their code on my site, making the process unnecessarily frustrating.

I’m giving two stars only because the initial onboarding was smooth. If you’re looking for reliable order-protection for your customers, I recommend finding another provider. Route is not worth the cost or the hassle.

Route offers a very simple and efficient way to create and process the claim.
Their customer service is very prompt and efficient. One can get ahold of an actual person to resolve an issue within reasonable time. Their website is clear and easy to nativegate. And the claim process time is very reasonable.

Route has saved our customer service department so much time by handling the majority of our lost, stolen, or damaged packages. We are always so excited when we see Route has been attached to an order with an issue because it will be taken care of quickly! Plus Route saves our company so much money by replacing packages with the money they collect, not our company funds. Our rep Robert and the customer service team have been so helpful when issues arise. We are so happy with Route's services.

Professional team, easy to resolve requests and questions, provides coverage in an area where our company has historically had a need that no one else could fill, and the cost is very reasonable. Very pleased with the internal side of working with Route and with the external side of offering a great service to our customers.

Big sales push up front promising all your problems will be resolved without any of it backed up by reality once in use. Removing from our Shopify page after a year of use and zero customers actually being helped by it. They just want to use your small business store to skim money for themselves. For example, they will allow your customers to (unintentionally/accidentally) purchase Route protection on an in-store pick up order. They offered no remedy to this issue and don't really care. It's up to you to claw back the money.

Excellent App! We were very cautious at first but now, we love it and it has saved us a lot of money on refunds due to lost packages. And we don't have to deal with UPS Claims! Thank you for a great App!
