Route

Aug. 12, 2020

The process getting setup was not great. The pricing was off from what we were charged. The first clams were denied. The claim process was not easy at all for us. Customers complained a lot about there setup. Overall experience was horrible and I would love my money back!!

We have used this app for about one month and maybe 800 customers have purchased it. The process for the customer to request a replacement and reorder is not easy like their sales team have suggested. A customer will almost always get frustrated and require support from the brand. Maybe 20 customers have requested a claim and as of now only one has been approved. We have had to mitigate for these which is fine but really defeats the purpose of this app. Lastly, the support is not quality as you need to submit email tickets and responses take long which frustrates a customer further. I would recommend that someone should just consider adding a product themselves as insurance and test for a month to see if you even need a service like this. But, if you do need this consider another service as they dont follow through on their marketing claims.

App was great at the beginning as it solves the issue of items being stolen or lost and doesn't cost you anything. However it has become more and more difficult for customers to file claims or even get a response so I reached out for a customer... and waited... and waited... 8 days later they closed the request.... without responding to it!!!! Will be deleting the app and offering my customers shipping insurance a different way from now on. Route made over $5,000 through my customers over the last 6 months (on top of anything they had to reimburse) but today I deleted the app. Guess 10k a year isn't important enough for them to answer their emails.

Great idea, but the execution is not smooth enough. Having a separate email to the client is clunky, needs to be integrated into the Shipping Confirmation Email within Shopify. We still field all the emails/questions from clients regarding their shipment. No benefit gained with this product installed. I've also reached out to support and not heard anything back for over 48 hours. That response time is ridiculous for a company in this space as I can only assume our customers will also experience delays when they engage Route.

I tried providing this on every package. You can lose a whole lot of packages and replace them at your cost before you get anything out of this app. You have to wait 7 days to make a claim by which time you have to replace a product on your own or make your customer wait a week, which is unacceptable. Unless you are asking your customer to opt in, don't bother.

Great service! The deadlines for filing the claim can be very confusing and inconvenient for customers whose packages are lost or just not updated for a long time, but the staff are accommodating and reply back to our emails to help us out. We appreciate it their service very much.

Candidly, I was a bit nervous about our first claim - nearly two-thirds of our customers choose to insure their purchase with Route Ins. The Rep at Route Ins took care of everything! It was simple and nearly instant! Route paid for a duplicate order, including reshipping to our customer in Italy.

Route gives our customers reassurance that if anything was to happen to their order they will be taken care of. Their rates are affordable and their claims process is quick and seamless.

Route has been extremely useful for my business. We make handmade, custom products and the shipping protection has been a lifesaver. They had some trouble with response times in March/April (what business didn't have trouble then), but that has recently improved.

This is a great way to avoid potential chargebacks from something that is above your control such as damaged items on arrival, stolen, or even lost packages. The claims process is simple and easy. I also love the fact that they send emails to customers as well if they purchase Route during checkout.

Since the moment I started using Route Shipping Insurance I was happy for my customers as its the best option for them. in addition, we have peace of mind as a business because we know we are offering a star class service to all our customers worldwide. Once you add this app to your shop you will be in great hands!

The Route app is very easy to use and adds great value to our website. We have had a good amount of customers use this app.

Route is an amazing company. They have great customer support, with us and our customers. We don't ever have to lose money if our customers have shipping issues. It is just one last thing we have to worry about. The best part is that it is free. As a merchant, we don't pay any fees. I highly recommend this company to anyone that has an eCommerce business.

I was so happy to come across this app from a product I ordered from another company. I immediately looked for it and it's been almost a year since we have been using Route. We love it, the app gives the customer confidence that their package is protected and if something happens the ease of us filing the claim on their behalf. 99.8% of our customers opt-in for the app. The company is responsive and easy to reach by phone or email. I highly recommend Route.

I love how easy this app is to install and use. It gives me peace of mind when customers purchase the shipping insurance especially with the shipping delays occurring right now. Highly recommend route.

They offered me a gift card to write a good review. :-/ That worries me about the quality of other people's reviews.

As a small shop owner caring for my customers packages arriving secure and not getting lost in the mail, Route has help me to make sure my customers orders and myself are covered. What I also love about this app, is my traffic has gone up and I have happy customers.

The Route team is great to work with and our customers find this service valuable. We sell higher-priced items and when customers want to waive a signature requirement, we insist they insure with Route. The insurance service provided by UPS and FedEx always seeks to not pay a claim any way they can. Route actually pays claims. If you are looking for shipping insurance for your store, Route should be at the top of your list.

The app was very easy to install, most of our customers now use it and it has both increased our conversion rate and decreased our own risk in the event of non-delivery/loss

Route is a must have for any seller of higher priced products - 80% of our clients select it at checkout at jenshansen.com and we believe it has increased our conversion rate. And their customer service is amazing
