Route made the integration to our Shopify store as seamless as can be. We noticed an immediate insight into our customer behavior where they are quick to maintain the Route insurance in the cart and throughout checkout. We greatly appreciate all of Route's help in providing additional options to help our customers feel secure with their purchase.

It was great when they started, but it quickly became a scam. Route provides an inferior service than we provide our customers. Our SLAs for customer service responses are much faster, whereas Route will take over a week to answer a legitimate customer claim. Ultimately, they've been making money off our website and offering a poor insurance solution to our customers. In the process, we lost money and our reputation got harmed. Their customer service (that was amazing before) could only shrug and apologize. The app works technically well... but the service they provide is really subpar.
Hi there,
Thank you for sharing this feedback. At Route, we pride ourselves on offering world-class customer service, and we’re so sorry to hear your experience fell short of expectations. We’d be happy to look into your situation and answer questions about the process.
First, we want to apologize for any delay in response to your customers. The Route team works hard to respond to every claim in a timely manner, and we understand the impact a delayed response has on the customer experience. We apologize for any delays that may have happened. We know this doesn’t always make for a great experience for customers.
Second, we understand the importance of the post-purchase experience and the impact it has on your reputation and revenue. Package protection should be a good, easy experience for you and your customers, which is why we're happy to assist further if you feel any claims have been wrongfully denied. Please reach out to merchantsupport@route.com with claims you'd like us to revisit, and we'd be more than happy to double check issues. Our team has been notified and we'll be on the lookout! Our goal is to always do right by merchants and their customers, so if mistakes were made, we'll catch them.
Feel free to reach out with any other questions as well. We’d love to help however we can.
All the best,

Historically, we have been a fan of Route shipping. Now, downgrading the review a neutral rating. They have helped replace many lost and stolen packages for our customers. However, recently they rubbed us the wrong way. During the pandemic, we were asked by our local PO to use the self-service kiosk to speed up the mainline as we only needed a scan since we handle packaging and postage at our facility. Knowing the SSK scan was recorded differently we reached out to Route for clarification as their website did not list the SSK type scan and they responded below. "We accept any tracking update regardless of where/how it was scanned. If there is an update to the tracking, we are happy to accept it as truth." https://help.route.com/hc/en-us/articles/360020320273-Why-is-my-order-stuck-in-transit-or-pre-shipment- After experiencing a lost package with a scan from the SSK they denied the claim and after further discussion with their support, they doubled down and would not cover the lost packages scanned using the SSK. They treat the SSK scan differently than a scan from the front desk. For the SSK to be covered they require an extra tracking update after the SSK scan for it to be covered if lost which is not the case if you scan a package at the front desk. They say they will update the website to clarify how the SSK scans are handled so future customers are aware of this. Time will tell if they do as they say they will. We do not recommend scanning packages at the SSK if you use Route as the SSK scans are held to a higher standard.
Route has been wonderful! It's improved the customer experience and added much needed protection to their orders. As a furniture company, we deal with a lot of mishandling of shipping with UPS (who's insurance and claim process is pretty much a joke) Route has made the damage claim so much easier and faster to deal with. The platform is easy to use and their support staff is amazing and always so helpful. Highly recommend!!

App is pretty good idea offering shipping insurance for customers. Team is ok to sub par at responding in timely manner. Wish it had more settings like add insurance to suspect customers in post or require insurance for international customers. Hopefully they will improve.
Route has been a great decision for our business and the best choice for our customers! We love knowing that our customers are covered for things that are out of their control and taken well care of with Route support. We're so thankful for the Route team! They've been excellent to work with and so responsive to our needs. Definitely recommend!

"We have been customers for over 18 months and when we have had claims, the process was extremely smooth. I do really enjoy the Route newsletter and take the time weekly to read the content - one of the few that I do."

terrible service when it comes to covering the insurance cost which are lost. They stop replying or never do and doesnt make any sense to continue anymore with them as they cost a high percentage which is more then they state. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Reply to your message: Thats not true. if in could send you a screenshot of what you guys charged my customers for each order those percentages are a lie.
See screenshot in dropbox link below. https://www.dropbox.com/s/uyrqimr52irjnx0/Screenshot%202021-04-27%20at%2010.59.55.png?dl=0
Hi there,
Thank you so much for your candid review. We're so sorry to hear your experience with Route has been less than ideal, and we'd love to do everything we can to clarify and make things right.
We’re looking at your customer claims, and we’re seeing that they’ve all been handled and resolved in accordance with our coverage policies. Your history also shows that our Customer Success Manager has been an active communicator, responding throughout the relationship.
We're also sorry to hear that you felt our costs were more expensive than anticipated. Route Package Protection is free for merchants and is available for purchase to customers in the cart page. For cart totals under $100 USD, Route is only $0.98 USD. For carts over $100 USD, Route is calculated from 1.5%-5% of the cart total based on several factors (for example, if an order was $150 USD, then Route could be $2.25 USD).
I hope this information helps clarify any confusion caused. However, we'd love to know more about the communications you feel were missed, and if you have any further questions, by reaching out to us at https://help.route.com/hc/en-us or directly to your CSM, Ahseanté. We'd be more than happy to assist however possible.
All the best,
Jordan, Customer Service
Route is a very well built app that integrates well with our Shopify store. Route's team was very helpful in working through any bugs during implementation. We have a lot of customers checking out with it so it seems to be providing quite a bit of value for our customers.
