Very easy for customers OR merchants to file claims. The process is 1/100th of the time it takes to try to get anything back from shipping companies. If there is photo proof of any dammage to the parcel & product. Everyone involved is covered. Heavily recommend, especially for smaller stores OR slim margins where "lost, stolen, or damaged" packages can really affect the bottom line. Most customers, if you are selling expensive products dont mind the cost for the peace of mind. HOWEVER!!!! If the order seems a little suspicious with Route insurance, we HEAVILY recommend putting signature required at delivery. If they have to sign for it, then they cannot claim it lost. (Really, it would be Route that loses the money when people are scamming by "claiming lost" when they got it. But it is good for your business to help deter scammers in the first place.)

We’ve had a wonderful experience working with Route. The platform is user-friendly, and the support we’ve received has been exceptional. Justin Boyce has been especially helpful throughout the process—he is knowledgeable, responsive, patient, and always takes the time to answer our questions thoroughly. His support has made the implementation and testing process seamless. We truly appreciate Justin and the entire Route team and would highly recommend them!

It worked well at first, but now I have a hard time getting someone to reply to my email. I can no longer login so I had to remove it from my store. Edit: They reached out and everything is fixed. Thanks

Hi there! Adam here from Route. Six years is a long time to trust us with your post-purchase experience, and we clearly dropped the ball at the end of it. You shouldn't have had to wait on an email to get back into your own account. The access issue is fixed on our side, and I've emailed you directly so we can make this right. We've also identified the cause of the issue and working on a fix. Best Regards, Adam Casper

Route has made our returns process much more efficient for both our customers and our staff. From beginning to end, our project team has been very efficient in getting us set up, including specific issues to our company that arose. Justin Boyce was extremely knowledgeable and patient in getting us to the finish line.
