Game changer!! Gives my customers peace of mind with all the USPS issues here lately and is a very affordable option for everyone!

I appreciate the service for starters, it enables me to offer faster solutions to our customers than previously available. And Zoram and Shaylee have been so amazing to work with on the backend of things. Very communicative and capable.

Absolute rip off. My customer received her crystal which was damaged in transit at the tip. They claim it is only "cosmetic" because the item is still usable but that would mean any of my crystals technically would never be covered as all of the damage would be "cosmetic." Now my customer has paid for a service and they are being ripped off since Route won't cover it. Personally I feel like this is a big oversight on their part. Not all items damage the same way. Be cautious when downloading this and helping your customers be ripped off. NEW EDIT: as you can see in their answer below they did resolve my orignal issue but that is because I threatened to call the BBB on them, not out of the goodness of their heart. Damage is damage even if it is just a chip so their policies allow them to accept or deny claims at their discretion and I am assuming its usually denied. I cancelled them on my shop because they have changed a lot of their policies including that if a package is marked as stolen customers may have to file a report with the police. I have a lot of black customers and I would NEVER ask them to make contact with the police for something as little and stupid as a lost package when Shipsurance does not require this. I also just had an international customer have their claim denied which I am currently trying to dispute. He thought it was lost in customs so waited to file a claim in the hopes it would arrive and now they have denied him saying he waited too long. With COVID and extended wait times for international shipments it seems like AGAIN they just do not want to pay out for services they have been paid for. Absolutely don't deal with these people. They are a total rip off. Second edit: They will not cover my international shipment that was lost in transit. If I had insured it through Shipsurance for $0.70 I would have not had to pay out over $100 to my customer who spent THEIR OWN money on Route's product.

Hi there,

Thanks so much for your candid feedback. Route prides itself on offering top-notch customer service to our merchants, and we are so sorry your experience fell short.

I’m showing that the customer in question submitted a photo in which no damage is visible, and that the specialist made a cosmetic damage call based on the photos provided.

The customer and yourself responded mentioning that the damage was indeed not cosmetic and would fall under Route policy. With that additional information, it appears our specialist was able to get managerial approval to cover a refund for you customer.

Our sincerest apologies for any confusion or misunderstanding. Per Route policy we cover damage that renders an item unusable, and not minor cosmetic scratches or dings: https://help.route.com/hc/en-us/articles/360041131194-Route-Package-Protection-Policies

We understand many merchants sell specialty products such as artwork, crystals, etc… and our team is always happy to work with merchants to find the best solution for their products.

Again, we’re so sorry your experience fell short of expectations, but we’re happy we were able to take care of your customer.

We would love to continue our partnership, and are always available to discuss coverage options on your crystals. If you are interested in continuing but would like to explore how Route will best work for your store, please reach out to csm@route.com and we’d be happy to assist.

Hope you had a lovely weekend,

Jordan, Customer Service

Route app works great even though it has some problem in loading sometimes. This needs to be corrected because a lot of time customers could buy the product and wouldn't even know such a thing existed on the store.

PLEASSSSE whatever you do, DO NOTTT get this app!! I've had this app for a few months and everything was going great until I had my first claim. They refunded the customer FROM MY ACCOUNT, without MY KNOWLEDGE. You can't call them only email. Once I emailed them about the refund. I deleted the app. I received a email about getting reimbursed for the refund and I needed to make sure that my account information was up to date. An hour after I updated my information, my card was charged 14 times. I've turned my card off and I've gotten 5 more notifications that my card has been declined as my card is off. ALL CHARGES ARE FROM RPT! I've called Shopify and sent them pictures and I will be going to my back in the morning. PLEASE TAKE THIS AS YOUR WARNING. It's not worth it.

Hello there,

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are sorry to hear you haven't had a good experience using Route. We would be happy to clarify any confusion. Route will refund the order subtotal and taxes to the customer's original payment method, and issue a reimbursement to the merchant for the same amount. If you have more questions on how this works you can use the article here: https://help.route.com/hc/en-us/articles/360055934194-Route-Order-Issues-Resolution-Resolve-via-Platform-

However, you definitely should not have 15 charges on your card. If you could email us at csm@route.com, we would be happy to look into this matter for you. We appreciate your patience on this and we look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks, and enjoy the rest of your week!

Best,

THE BEST insurance option I have used, ever! So happy I am able to offer this to my clients. For just a minimal fee, their entire order is insured. As a small business, I can’t stress how helpful their service has been.
Installation was a bit over my head, as I
am not tech savvy. No problem, within a few days, Route admin had fully installed their app into my site.
Now here comes the best part; they actually follow through & back up their guarantee! Unfortunately, in the past, I have had other insurance providers fight any claim I’ve ever made, with a lengthy difficult process, and generally little to no reimbursement. I recently had a package get lost in the mail. After confirming with USPS, I filed a claim with Route. Within 12 hours, it had been resolved, start to finish! I cannot stress how wonderful their customer support is ( Thanks Alex!), as well as their service! I highly recommend Route, and will continue to offer this wonderful option on my website!
Thank you from Gemstoned Jewelry

I started using Route in August 2020. I have been very pleased with their services. Due to major delivery issues through the USPS stemming from COVID and other factors, Route has replaced several lost packages which has kept my customers very happy. I have had no issues in getting claims processed extremely quickly. The only suggestion that I can make is coming up with a solution as to when orders are edited on a merchant's end. My customers are always wanting to add or remove items from their orders. If the customer has already selected the Route protection in their order and request that additional items be added to the order, Route goes by the initial order created should the order have to be replaced or refunded. This area needs some help. I will continue using Route as my customers have enjoyed having peace of mind.

Hi there,

Thanks so much for your review! We are so happy that you and your customers have enjoyed the peace of mind Route package protection brings. Additionally, we greatly appreciate your valuable feedback regarding post purchase order editing & Route protection.

As Route is calculated on the cost of the items in the order, our current system is unable to automatically recalculate Route protection when an item is added or modified post purchase. If an edit needs to be made, merchants can simply cancel the original order (pre-fulfillment) and recreate with the customer’s edits and add Route.

Again, thanks so much for partnering with us. We greatly appreciate having you on board & look forward to working with you in the future. Your feedback regarding original order edits has been passed onto our team. However, should you run into any future questions feel free to reach out to us at merchantsupport@route.com.

All the best,

Jordan, Customer Service

You NEED Route for your store. I love how easy it is to make a claim. I also love the peace of mind when a customer sends me an angry email about how their order is lost, and I can say, "Its ok, your package is insured". It saves me soooo much time!

Route is pretty mandatory for us. I read a few of the one-star reviews, and it's just people who didn't understand the fine print nor understand mistakes and issues can happen. This is by far easier than dealing with a carrier, and infinitely less work. Spare yourself the headache. It's better to deal with random, minor headaches with Route than deal with a carrier where you have to wait 40 business days or more for an insurance claim.

The best service for e-commerce ever!! I've had many customer with lost, stolen and damaged in transit packages. Ever since I installed Route, I haven't had to deal with any shipping issues. This is revolutionary and I have no doubt will quickly be available on millions of e-commerce sites.
