Merchants say this app is easy to install and set up, even for complex or multi-store operations. It reduces support workload by handling most lost, stolen, and damaged shipment claims, often saving significant shipping costs. Many report higher conversion rates and customer trust, especially on high-ticket orders. Returns tools are praised as modern and flexible, and support is described as fast, proactive, and highly hands-on.

Great service
Hi there,
Thank you for this positive review! We're so glad that Route’s been able to help support your business. If there's anything else we can do, please let us know.
Have a great day!
Skylar, Customer Success
We've used Route for over 3 years and just recently tried contacting them as our store had changed domains and got a new theme, and asked for expert help implementing the app again.
They proceeded to reach out and refuse to add Route to our store again until we reach 1000 shipped orders a month on a normal basis. Apparently they implemented this in early 2026, cutting off any and all businesses below this number.
Go elsewhere. Such a sham.
This app sucks, they don't help merchants, promise you the world so you sign up and leave you hanging at the first technicality. Use NAVIDUIM Its cheap and you keep the money that customers pay for the damages and you can use the funds to PROPERLY TAKE CARE OF YOUR CUSTOMERS!!
Route has been such an asset to our business! It's a 10 out of 10 in my mind and a no-brainer for any e-commerce business! I've been working with Route for 3+ years and they have become a great strategic partner of ours. Justin and the entire team are dream 3PL partners who are quick to respond to any and all issues. Adding Route to your shopify store is common sense - in today's e-commerce marketplace customers expect expedited replacements from small and large companies regardless of the cause of the lost, damaged, or missing shipment. Route keeps customers happy and meets the expectations consumers are placing on businesses engaged in shipping goods of any kind around the country. Take my recommendation and add Route!
Hi there,

Have a great day,

I've been partnered with Route for 2+ years and have appreciated not only their primarily services within their tool, but their admirable support + partnership. It's great having the opportunity to not just enjoy working alongside a partner, but growing with a partner, while understanding each other's aches, growing pains and growth plans. I'd recommend Route at the leading partner in the Shipping Insurance D2C space to any merchant.

We have been using Route for almost two years now and have experienced nothing but top of the line support from their team members! We recently merged to a new system and although there were a few hiccups, Justin Boyce and Adam Casper did everything they could to resolve any issues in a timely manner and they always make us feel like a top priority. They repeatedly come to us with solutions should any problems arise and always have a positive attitude! All in all, 10/10 experience.
Hi there, we appreciate your positive feedback! It's great to hear that using Route has been a great experience for you, and that our team has been able to provide you with excellent support.
Thank you, and have a wonderful day!

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.
Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. We are sorry to hear about any issues or miscommunications while using our protection feature. That is certainly not the experience we aim to give!

Our team follows our set claims policies, which can be found here: https://shoppers.help.route.com/hc/en-us/articles/6017831679511-Route-Package-Protection-Policies. Furthermore, customers paying for Route Protection will have the option to click the Route Protection fee on or off when checking out.
If you or your customers have any questions about our policies or a filed claim, please don't hesitate to contact our team at any time through our Help Center, which can be accessed here: https://merchants.help.route.com/hc/en-us. We are happy to help in any way we can.

There are thousands of apps available that promise to improve the customer experience by offering this bell, or that whistle. While many actually do what they say - Route is the only app we use that has been equally beneficial to the customer and the brand owner. It was incredibly easy to install, well supported and costs us exactly zero dollars per month. Route has improved our customer experience by making it easy for customers to obtain replacement shipments for products that are lost, damaged or stolen. At the same time, we've reduced our customer interactions for these events and cut our connected losses by a whopping 100%. (Let that sink in.) If you sell and ship products online, Route should be among the first updates that you make to your store - your customers and your bottom line will thank you.
Hi there,

Happily,

I have been trying to install and get this app working on my store for last 1 week. Extremely difficult to get hold of customer support. Only have an email option. Email responses are slow.

Best,

App is just okay. I'm not sure it's worth the money with the issues you get. They withdrawal their money automatically weekly and my biggest issue is when I ship a package, it doesn't not update the tracking number. We have to enter it in. My customer are asking me all the time what is unfulfilled on there order and it always Route. It's some what of a pain.
Hi there,
Thank you so much for sending in your feedback here! We apologize for any confusion or miscommunications while working with our product.
Route pulls the tracking number directly from the order on your backend. If you are utilizing a separate fulfillment system, then you will need to ensure the tracking is being added to the order on your Shopify backend.
Additionally, Route should auto-fulfill itself after something else in the order has been fulfilled. If Route is showing up as unfulfilled and is creating confusion with your customers, you can remove the line, “there are other items in your cart” so the customer will not see this. You as the merchant can go in the back end of the packing slip template, look into the coding and delete this line: " There are other items from your order not included in this shipment."
If you are still seeing issues with your tracking information and orders or would like assistance with the information above, please feel free to reach out to our team here: https://help.route.com/hc/en-us, and we will be more than happy to assist.
Thank you, and take care,
Leea, Customer Service
