5/5

What do you like best about Route?

Route has saved us so many times from needing to replace lost packages out of pocket. Customers can easily add route to their order and check the status of their Route claims. If an order gets lost, Route seamlessly pays for the replacement. It's a win all around! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Route?

I wish all customers used it! Some of them opt out and end up needing their order replaced. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Route solving and how is that benefiting you?

Route solves our need to replace lost packages and reliably coordinates the re-ordering of the item when it is lost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Net positive and saved us money and headache"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Route?

We had to deal with a lot of returned products or "product not found" by customers which would cost us time and a headache to refund and reship so route has made that a lot easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Route?

Belive route only offers protection after the shipping label is tracked but sometimes our warehouse also loses items or the shipper doesn't scan things correctly. would be great if we could get full protection right after the shopify purchase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Route solving and how is that benefiting you?

the issue we're solving is that people lose their package or packages don't make it to the customer so we have to reship product which costs time and money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Complete waste of time and a terrible experience for your customers."

0/5

What do you like best about Route?

No direct cost to the company. Claims (if they are actually covered) are filed directly by the customer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Route?

I set this up on our site, thinking it would be an easy solution for the occasional issue our customers experienced. A customer had an order that was about $280, which was either stolen or delivered to the wrong address (something we're all familiar with). Route claims informed the customer they would have to file a police report for them to cover the claim. However, the customer never received that message. So, not only does the customer have to waste their time dealing with the police in a meaningless gesture, but it also wastes the police department's time. The police are not out searching for lost packages. This is just a hurdle Route uses to avoid paying claims. It results in a terrible experience for your customers, and they don't end up paying anything. Better to stick with carrier insurance and handle it yourself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Route solving and how is that benefiting you?

None. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hello there,

Thanks for taking the time to write a review. We are sorry for any problems you have had with using Route. We understand any hesitation on filing a police report. However, when a package is marked as delivered and not received, Route does consider the package to be stolen. As a result, Route policy usually requires a police report before we can move forward. You can find our policies here: https://help.route.com/hc/en-us/articles/360041131194-Route-Package-Protection-Policies.

What do you like best about Route?

John and Jordan have been very responsive. Despite some issues to launch, both of them handle our questions and problems with a massive sense of urgency. If it wasn't for how quick they were to respond to me, even after hours, I would not have moved forward with Route; they were available anytime any day to handle problems and I crazy emails!

"peace of mind."

4.5/5

What do you like best about Route?

As a full coverage client, and during such an unprecedented time, I get to have the peace of mind knowing my customers are covered. Our customer service team does not have to drown in lost or delayed order emails. Sarah and her team are beyond excellent in communicating and making us feel valued. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Route?

the non customizable aspects of email cadence, but that was recently fixed! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Route:

get full coverage! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Route solving and how is that benefiting you?

In the last two years, carriers have become so overwhelmed that timelines and guarantees are nonexistent. Filing claims with a carrier puts the burden on the company and drains critical customer service focus and time. Having full coverage Route protection alleviates all of that from our small team and lets us focus on selling product and making our customers happy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
