Route Protection and Tracking

For four years we have had Route - spanning 527 orders and counting - and although our customers can opt out of purchasing it, most pay the small surcharge for the insurance (typically $1-3 for our orders).

Finally we had a case yesterday where we had to claim on it, where the customer had the parcel stolen from his mailbox. Route was incredibly quick to resolve, and to settle the claim for us by refunding the customer directly. No fuss; no mess. Thanks Route!!!

Route's customer service is very helpful! They were able to fix a problem I was having in integrating Route into my store. There's always someone there to help! Requests for reimbursement are easy to initiate. Customers seem to like Route as well.

It is good but also not too good. The on boarding was great, but after that.....

They handle each claim differently, they can modify orders and process refunds without an email or notification, and it's very hard to connect with someone there.

They do not have a way to email or call support, you have to generate a ticket via "live" chat and have to wait a day for someone to respond.

As nice as it is to offer insurance, it costs us the merchant 2.4-7 percent every time we sell Route depending on how the user paid. I wish they only collected 95% of what we sold so we didn't lose money. On average we sell 1000 in package protection a week. So it's small but it's still 24-70 dollars out of our pocket.
