Everything so far has been an awesome experience. We haven't had a claims or anything yet but our customers seem to really like the added protection offered through Route. Customer service has been great as well. Our account manager just reached out to us to show new features and to see how we were doing. He is very pleasant to work with. No complaints here. Thanks Ahseante!

Started off great, app was working well. Then our checkout started crashing on mobile, this continued to happen and our abandoned cart rate skyrocketed. Even after we deleted the code and the app, the route text stayed on our checkout, we have lost thousands of $ in sales due to this app. They have said they will fix the issue but never do, then they asked us to reinstall the app, and it started affecting the checkout again, such a joke, no compensation just excuses.

It's a simple idea, yet effective. We really like that the app is free and it gives our customers an option to protect their order. We like the added tracking information and automated emails.

"Working with Cyntia has been so great and you guys have always been helpful and accommodating to all our needs. Your response times are fast and the customers that utilize route haven't had a whole lot of issues. It is much easier to work with you all than with USPS when it comes to issues with missing or damaged packages."

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 [email protected] 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, Bianca, Customer Service

I have been trying to add this app for hours and now I finally said forget it. It shouldn't be this difficult to add something to your site. Even watching up to 6 videos I still did not get it so I uninstalled.
Hi there, That's unusual, so thank you for bringing this to our attention! At Route, we pride ourselves on offering world-class customer service, and we'd like to dig into why installation was short of seamless in your experience. We’d like to take a closer look and help with any questions that come up while adding Route to your site. You can contact us at [email protected] and we'd love to help any way we can! All the best, Bianca, Customer Service

route only replaced 5 packages for us in the last 6 months, our out of pocket for replacements is still astronomical because route doesn't approve MOST claims. their app has been removed from the google play store and we have received constant customer complaints about their lack of service. this company is a scam and shouldn't be on the app store
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 help or clarify however possible. After reviewing your customer order issues, we’re showing that those closed or denied were due to the following reasons: 1) Order tracking showing “unfulfilled”. In such cases, Route will refer the customer to the merchant for a fulfillment update or updated tracking (should the order have been shipped but the tracking not updated). Once the order is fulfilled, Route coverage still applies. 2) The order issue was filed outside of Route’s coverage policy timeframes. Issues delivered and not received, or delivered and broken, must be filed within 15 days of the delivery date. On lost issues, a customer must file within 30 days of the last tracking update. For a more detailed overview of our policies, please see: https://routeapphelp.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360041131194-Route-Package-Protection-Policies. 3) After Route reached out for more information, the customer never responded. In these situations, Route sends two reminder emails every 48 hours. If the customer doesn’t respond within 48 hours of the second reminder email, the ticket is automatically closed. Should the customer eventually respond on these threads, the ticket is then reopened and addressed within 24-48 hours. 4) Tracking update or delivery after an order issue is filed. When a tracking status is updated or marked as delivered after a customer issue is filed, the customer is notified that their package is on its way or has been delivered, and the ticket is closed. Our sincerest apologies for any confusion caused regarding the filing process or coverage policies and timeframes. If there are any you feel any customer issues were wrongfully denied and need to be revisited, please reach out to us at [email protected] and we’d be happy to assist. Additionally, we’d be happy to clarify any of the above policies or procedures as needed. Our team has been notified of your feedback and will be on the lookout for any future emails. Feel free to reach out with any other questions as well. We’d love to help however we can. All the best, Jordan, Customer Service

We finally got a lovely person (Katie) to provide us some support and help regarding the appin the end. But by that point there had just been too many issues to make it worthwhile. First, setup is not easy or smooth. Secondly, they modified some things in our checkout process that we didn't want and we had to have them resolve it. Next, we see clients adding it (or having it default and them not deselecting it) so ok....But we never saw or got notice of when a new order was needed to be shipped to a client. It was not a painless, smooth or easy process that they lead you to believe when making their sales pitch AT ALL. It also required you to log on over to their site and see and track things there. Sorry, I don't see that making life any easier. Then I guess we had 1 maybe 2 orders with issues and they reached out to us and said that we were having too many issues and had to raise rates/change the setup as it wasn't working for them. What?!?! In the end, it didn't save us any time, energy or ease of frustration with order issues. Spent awhile looking around at other apps and we'll move on to one of them. If we are going to have the headaches anyways, then why are we giving them the money? Would give it a 1 star were it not for the help Katie was kind enough to provide in the end.
Hi there, Thank you for relaying your experience. We’re so happy to hear that our wonderful CSM, Katie, was able to provide help and clarity in the end . We do apologize, however, for the rocky start. We’d be happy to look into your situation as well and do everything we can to further clarify and set things right. At times when merchants have additional assets on their page, or customized checkout processes as in your case, adding Route can require a few extra steps for a smooth setup. We do have a team dedicated to implementing the Route widget in such situations, and they can be reached at [email protected] should you run into any future implementation snags. We are so sorry for the confusion caused regarding notice of when a new order is needed to be shipped. When an issue is approved for a reorder, our specialists notify the customer and an update is provided for merchants within the dashboard. Regarding tracking, we do require an account login for our merchant portal so merchants can securely track their customers’ packages and have visibility into issue statuses and order stats. Customers, on the other hand, are welcome to download and log into our Route app or follow the web tracking link in their Route confirmation email to track their packages. Again, thank you for sharing your experience, and our apologies for any confusion caused. All of your feedback has been passed along to our team. If you experience any further implementation difficulties, tracking inquiries, or other questions, please feel free to reach out to [email protected] and we’d be more than happy to assist. All the best, Jordan, Customer Service

It appears we’re not showing any correspondences from the email we have for you on file. Our sincerest apologies if there was any confusion caused regarding the best points of contact for support. We have reached out directly to the email address on file, so feel free to respond back on that thread or reach out to us directly at: [email protected]. Additionally, while we experienced some delays in responses a few weeks ago due to a backlog of issues filed, our response times have since returned to our usual 24-48 business hours. Again, if you are still running into any Dashboard questions, or have any other questions or concerns, please respond to our email or contact us at [email protected]. We’ve notified our team to be on the lookout for future messages from your team so we can get you taken care of as soon as possible. All the best, Jordan, Customer Service

Route's package insurance alleviates significant pressure that our CS team inevitably faces in facilitating customer complaints regarding package theft and carrier mishandlings. I see some other comments regarding poor service and perhaps there are some bad apples in the bunch. However, I am here leaving a comment specifically because of their EXCELLENT SERVICE. Sometimes a little patience, understanding, and information is all that is needed.

Should you run into any future snags or questions, please feel free to reach out to your CSM, Kellee, or our team at: https://help.route.com/hc/en-us and we'd be pleased to assist.

This review is for both the Route app and one of their sales team members. I received a series of offensive emails from one of the reps. Their lack of professionalism reflects poorly not only on them but more importantly the company and platform. I hope other business owners do not have the same experience.
Hi there, Thanks so much for your candid feedback. Route prides itself on offering world-class support and communication to our merchants across all departments, and we're so sorry to hear your experience fell short. Our sincerest apologies for any misunderstandings or miscommunications caused. We work hard to ensure that all Route communications are in line with our company's brand and that our merchants always feel informed and supported in our conversations with them. Your feedback has been passed through all the appropriate channels, and we appreciate your willingness to share. Should you have further feedback, or have any other questions for Route, please feel free to reach out to [email protected] and we'd be happy to assist however we can.

I can not say that I recommend this service. I used it for more than six months and during all this time I had THREE cases related to delivery problems. And only ONCE did Route cover the cost of the lost item. The last time I received an alarm notification from the post office about a parcel. Track number did not work. I wrote Rout's support and was told they couldn't help with it. Hundreds of dollars for six months to pay for the "service" is nowhere. Just weird.
Hi there, Thanks so much for your invaluable feedback. We pride ourselves on offering top-notch customer service, and we are so sorry your experience fell short. We'd be happy to look into your customer claims and assist however we can. It appears that out of the three claims filed, that one was filed outside of our coverage timeframe, the second case was closed as the customer told our specialist the package arrived safely after filing, and the third claim is still awaiting a response from the customer regarding updated tracking information. We've had an agent reach out to the third customer to make sure they're taken care of as soon as possible. Since Route covers packages in lost, stolen, and damaged cases, we do require accurate tracking for all packages filed so we can ensure each situation is handled accordingly and within our coverage timeframes. As for the first claim not covered, per Route protection policy we do have certain timeframes during which a claim should be filed. An overview of our detailed coverage policies can be found here: https://help.route.com/hc/en-us/articles/360041131194-Route-Package-Protection-Policies as well as deadlines to report issues here: https://help.route.com/hc/en-us/articles/360050129513-Deadlines-to-report-an-order-issue. Our sincerest apologies for any confusion caused regarding Route's protection parameters and required tracking on all packages. If you feel that claim denial was made in error, or you have any questions regarding our policies, please reach out to us at: https://help.route.com/hc/en-us and we'd be happy to revisit the claim or clarify further. Hope you're staying safe and healthy, Jordan, Customer Service

Great service. Adoption rate among customers has been very low. But we love the service so much we are considering changing our model so that we pay for route coverage on all orders rather than leaving that decision up to our customers. The integration with Shopify is great. Looks professional and i believe is easy for customers to use. The Route triggered post sale communication with customers is perfect and on point re: letting them know how to use the Route coverage/file a claim.
Good morning, Thanks for your wonderful review! We are so happy to hear that you've loved the service so much that you're considering moving to our full-coverage model. We are also glad that the seamless Shopify integration, professional aesthetic, peace of mind, and thorough communication Route brings have all benefited you, your business, and your customers. We feel so lucky to partner with you and protect your products. Should you run into any future questions, please reach out to us at https://help.route.com/hc/en-us and we'll be happy to help. Hope you're having a great week, Jordan, Customer Service
