I purchased custom ornaments from ******* ********* in February and paid for insurance from Route. Although FedEX tracking states the packaged was delivered, I have not received it, nor can they provide any photographic evidence it was delivered. I've been trying to submit a claim through Route for the past 2 weeks, however, no matter how many times I try, under different lighting and different times of day, my ID verification will not go through and there is no mechanism to contact Route about this issue. I would like Route to contact me so that I can submit my claim.Business Response

Dear ******,
We are so sorry to hear of the difficulty you encountered when trying to file a claim for your custom ornaments! This is certainly not the experience we want to provide, and we'd love to get you taken care of right away.
When attempting to investigate this issue we were unable to find an order matching the email attached to this complaint, but we did create a ticket for our team to assist you. Watch for a reply from us before the end of the day.
We are looking forward to helping you with this claim!
Cheers,
Route Customer Experience Team

Route makes it extremely difficult, impossible actually, to file a claim with your(?) Customer Service department. In order to "file a claim" one has to download the app to create an account, and from there, my attempt to file a claim didn't work as my email address and Route tracking were not found? Please explain what the point of being forced to pay for shipping protection is when 1. there is no protection and 2. no way to get in direct contact with customer support? Now Route has access to my email and my package (never delivered even though USPS reported it was, 7 days ago). I have video footage of the date and time this alleged delivery took place, showing the package was not delivered.
If Route does in fact insure my package, which I pay for and don't have a choice in the matter (it seems many people reporting to BBB encounter this, I will need Customer Service to get this issue resolved or refund me for this order.Business Response

Over the past year, Route has been added to my purchases across different retail sites. Every time I've removed it from my correct or opted to not have it, it magically appears in my cart at the time of checkout. There is no real option to remove it and that's extremely unethical to charge customers a fee for a service they neither want or need. Route needs to address this.Business Response

Hey there,
We are so sorry to hear about the trouble you are having with Route. We can assure that Route should be able to be removed from any order when the toggle is present! If you continue to run into issues with this, do not hesitate to reach us or the store you purchased from and we will do our best to make it right.

I paid almost $200.00 for shipping protection with Route and my package got loss in transit and they aren't responding to my emails, texts, chats and **********'s been five straight days that I filed the claim, and they requested me to send a notarized affidavit of Loss which I had to leave my job earlier to do it and then they asked me for my passport and a picture of me holding my passport, and after I provided all that they came back asking for more reasons to delay and asking me to go downtown and fill out a police report.Their policy says if something goes wrong they resolve it in hours and not days, yet to me they are treating me different and keep on delaying my refund.I wont lose another day filing anything else than I already did, I check with some people online and they didn't have to do any of what they are asking me and their issue was indeed resolve in hours and mine is now almost a week that i'm trying to get my money back and I was told before I continue with my city consumer attorney and the **** to start with BBB requesting my full refund for the lost order as paid insurance promised before I file suit, so please refund my money and let me go my way as your delay is causing me money loss as I cant finish my work because you're keeping my money and I don't have any items nor can rebuy it until you refund me. I can only wait another 48 hours before I continue further with the agencies mentioned above, so please refund my money back within 48 hours of this notice.Business Response

Hi ******,
Thank you for reaching out. After reviewing your claim, it looks like our team issued you a refund for your stolen order. Please note that the fee for Route is what allows us to provide you shipping protection. This fee is not refunded at any time - if the fee has not been paid, it means your order is not protected by Route.
If you have any additional questions or concerns regarding the Route fee, please feel free to reach back out within your Route claim. It looks like our team has been corresponding with you, and the last email we sent out was Friday, November 15th, 2024. You can get back in touch with our support agents by responding to this email.
We look forward to answering any additional questions you may have.
Best,
Skylar, Route Customer Success

I purchased some gun parts from a website and they arrived beaten up. Route took care of the problem by giving me a refund. But the problem came when I was issued the refund. They sent it to ****** instead of Venmo(which is what i requested) and now I cant get the payment. And since they have no telephone number, I can not reach anyone to help me. I feel totally neglected and I cannot get help with this from them. I have sent atleast 10 emails.Business Response
Date: 11/07/2024
Hi Chai,
Thank you for reaching out. While looking into your Route claim, I did see that we had initially sent the refund to your Venmo, and there was an error where the refund was showing as canceled. I see on the claim that you had provided your ****** information as an alternative refund method, and that refund did go through.
If you are still not seeing your ****** refund, or if you have any additional questions or concerns, you can respond back within your claim or using our chat option, and we will assist you further!
Have a great rest of your day!
