We are a small family business in the business of shipping perishables across the country. We have been doing this going on 3.5 years now and I can’t tell you how many orders we’ve lost and how many customers with unacceptable shipments. We had the fortunate luck of an incredible route representative that stayed persistent. Her persistence led us to take a meeting and presenting the incredible value that route brings to our business and more importantly our customers. This is the only time I can tell you that it’s too good and it’s all true ! Our patrons see the value and more importantly their order is covered. In the first month alone we saved so many patrons money and more importantly our patrons know they are covered. Route is a an absolute must for any business. Do not ship anything unless you have route as an option!

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.

Route has been a big support to our business, helping us provide better service for our customers when dealing with the dreaded shipping struggles of lost, missing, stolen, or damaged packages.

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.

Our business loves the services that Route offers. It is so nice to have an extra layer of protection on an order that doesn't leave us responsible for something that happens in shipping. Annabelle Jackson, our customer success manager, has been so great to work with! She keeps us in the loop about new services and always helps us find ways to best use our funds!

We have been using Route since February, and it has made things SO much better for both our CX team and customers! Filing claims is so easy, and issues are resolved far more often than not.

UPDATE- Aubri from Route reached out and fixed the issue. Works now. Does not work. Worked for the first month and now the route check box doesn't even appear. Tried various settings and nothing seems to work.

I have never written a review but I felt like I had to in order to WARN YOU of route's FRAUDULENT business model. They do not honor anything they claim to protect. They just say, this claim did not fit our protection policy. they make money off of you and PISS your customers OFF! We are currently self insuring our packaging, we are very happy and immediately send a replacement in case of a loss or damage and we are in control of our customers happiness and the money WE KEEP kind of evens out WITH THE MONEY OF LOSS. SO, if route is legitimate, how can they make profit and satisfy your customers? THE ANSWER IS THEY DON'T, THEY ONLY MAKE MONEY AND LEAVE YOU AND YOUR CUSTOMER PISSED. UTTER DISRESPECT.

Route has been amazing for our store, they have great customer service, their team is always willing to help, and our customers only have positive feedback to share when they purchase their coverage. I definitely recommend it to save on customer service while improving its quality.

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.
We appreciate your feedback regarding your experience with our platform. We apologize if our service did not meet your expectations. We would like to clarify that Route's claims process is designed to protect both our customers and merchants, by ensuring that all claims are thoroughly evaluated and investigated before being approved or denied. We understand that it can be frustrating to have claims denied, and we strive to make our claims process as fair and transparent as possible. That being said, we are always looking for ways to improve our service, and we thank you for sharing your experience with us. If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact our support team through our Help Center here: https://merchants.help.route.com/hc/en-us.

Edit: A representative of the company has reached out almost 500 days later and resolved this billing issue and offered an additional incentive for my brand. I was told they have undergone new management which i'm impressed about so far. The decision to edit this review was on my behalf not Routes. Horrible company!! User BEWARE. I have had a canceled credit card for over 400 days and this company CONTINUES to try to charge the account and bill me when I have told this company MULTIPLE times to remove me from their services and stop billing me, yet they continue to bill a card thats been closed for over a year!! Customer service says they can't remove the app until the bill is paid!!! Shopify customer service please take note of these practices and please launch an investigaton! This is ridiculous this company is trying to make your customers responsible for paying a bill after repeated requests to cancel. They send me billing invoices everyday in my email and is becoming harassing at this point! Shopify please please please investigate this company, something is very unethical here! :(
Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to send in your feedback. We are sorry for any miscommunications with your billing experience. In order to provide the customer with the best experience possible, the small Route fee is collected within the order total that you as the merchant initially collect. We then have you as the merchant transfer that fee for the Route Protection back to Route on your billing schedule with us. These emails and invoices mean that you left us in the middle of the last invoice cycle, and there wasn’t a transfer to Route for those customers that paid for the Route Protection on their orders. Please let us know if you have any further questions, and you can always contact us using our Live Chat feature in our merchant portal or through our Help Center here: https://merchants.help.route.com/hc/en-us. Take care, Leea, Customer Service

They've been excellent to work with and so responsive to our needs. Definitely recommend!

Very very disappointed with the service from Route. They increased our prices and broke our check out cart - on chat will raise the issue and the agent then just disconnected the chat without any information or follow up via email
Hi there, Thank you for sending in your feedback! We are sorry to hear of any miscommunications or delays while working with our team. We would be happy to discuss the details of the Premium Rate changes, and the issues surrounding your checkout cart as soon as possible so we can assist with a solution.

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, Leea, Customer Service
