I like this product / service BUT we've had an issue with ROUTE line items not auto fulfilling anymore, and it's been 2 months and multiple emails to continue to ask them to fix it. And still nothing. We're having to manually fulfil orders with ROUTE everyday. It's ridiculous. We'll be switching!

We were charged for route automatically when we wanted it as an option for customers to pay. Now we owe almost $180 because we could not get an associate to approve our request to change this? Complete BS and we are dropping route immediately.

I’ve been using this app for my customers both United States and Jamaica and it was not until 3 days ago they blocked my check out button from my Jamaican customers. Why would you put a coding into my theme that made it difficult for some of my customers to check out? And the proof is there so this is not made up!

We lost thousands of dollars of revenue because the Route app script somehow converted our subscription products into one-time purchases. Therefore, the subscriptions never renewed, and those sales were lost. This didn't come to our attention until we noticed that recurring sales were significantly down after a couple of months. Beyond that, we were told that they would investigate the issue, but we didn't hear back for two weeks, and only then because I reached out again to see if they had un update for us. I would certainly avoid this app!

Customer service is unresponsive and promises a 2-5 day wait for fee installations, but delays extend beyond 2 weeks. The chat option is manned by a bot, not a person, leading to prolonged response times via email. Ultimately unhelpful, I uninstalled the app and suggest exploring alternatives. As a business owner, this level of customer service is unacceptable.

Aggressive sales rep. Poor customer service. Wouldn't refund $20 over an inadequately explained feature when I already had my own insurance plan. Do not recommend this company.

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.

Edit - Since writing this review we continue to have issues. Route again asked us to replace an order at our expense and promised us reimbursement within the week, it is now going on 2 weeks with daily follow ups where we are repeatedly lied to and told that the money has been paid when it in fact hasn't. They are falsifying information in the dashboard and not making payments even when they say they are - extremely fraudulent and dishonest company. STEER CLEAR UNLESS YOU WANT YOUR MONEY STOLEN. We have since found an honest and efficient company who offers far better and honest service and actually reimburses your money in a timely manner or reimburses direct to the customer.

Honestly have found the whole experience disappointing. When we signed up we didn’t realise we pay for the replacements and reimbursements up front, they refund direct from your Shopify store and create unpaid replacement orders without notifying you, meanwhile Route continues to debit their fee, so we are essentially paying them to provide the service for them and they don’t even tell you that they process claims in this sneaky manner. They debit their money every 2 - 3 days, but then we wait sometimes months for reimbursements so we are out of pocket for long periods. We don’t have an account manager and contact is complicated and confusing. We have also recently learned that we are charged nearly a $50 fee per reimbursement. We were never told this at time of sign up and were not given options. We will be looking for a more honest and reliable provider. Also, expect the customers premiums to go up if your customers actually make claims. Apparently you are penalised for using the claim service.

Hi there,

Thank you for reaching out to us regarding your experiences. We are so sorry for any miscommunications or confusion that occurred during the billing/reimbursement process at Route.

In order to provide a great customer experience, the small Route Protection fee is initially collected by the merchant after a customer orders their items and chooses to add Route Protection to their order. We then have the merchant transfer that small Route fee for the insurance back to Route - typically on a weekly basis.

When Route reorders or refunds a claim filed by one of your customers, we use our claims automation system to complete this process within seconds in the merchant’s platform and will reimburse you back for those claims resolved. The process is ideal for both the customer and the merchant as it’s incredibly efficient and effective to solve customers’ claims as quickly and correctly as possible.

If you have remaining questions or concerns regarding your reimbursements and billing with Route, we encourage you to contact us using our Live Chat feature in our Merchant Portal here: https://merchants.help.route.com/hc/en-us. We would be happy to help. Our apologies again for any miscommunications, and we’d love to continue to partner with you.

Have a wonderful day,

Route is a ripoff. Route controls how much your customers pay to protect their packages. They raise the rates as your claims increase (like it's your fault). Merchants have no control over the claims process so if a customer files a legitimate claim and is denied by Route, the merchant is out of pocket for the replacement. All of this is done while Route sits back collecting all the money your customers pay for shipping protection.

I recently switched to Navidium Shipping Protection, which gives me 100% control over the claims approval process, acts as an upsell in your store so, as the merchant, you get to keep the money charged for shipping protection, AND I get to set the price of the shipping protection for my customers. All for a nominal monthly fee. Its a WIN for me!

Don't download this app. Get Navidium instead.
