      I'm a merchant. Route stopped working on my website after not being visible for some time. I've sent numerous requests for them to contact me but they go unanswered. I'm stuck in some sort of zendesk help system with no way to actually contact them.

      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.

      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.

       

      Thanks,

      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.

      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.

      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!

      We only used their service for a few weeks. Then found out the app is not working for us. So, we terminated the service, and uninstalled the app. The route app (*****************) wants us to pay them $401.95 of their service, then they will refund us $203 for us terminate their service early due to partially used. We have been waiting for the correct invoice. I asked them to send us an adjusted invoice so we can pay the difference. However, Route App keeps changing different customer service to email us to ask to pay full amount of $401.95. This has been going on for over a year. We are still waiting for adjusted invoice.

      I was originally contacted on May 24 that the order was shipping. Order never appeared. The company requires an online submission for inquiries but it did not recognize the order info provided in the email so I was unable to get a resolution. Received another email on July 22 that the order was delivered by **** but there was no package. When I contacted **** with the tracking number provided by route I was told that the name and address did not match mine. Once again I tried to contact route through their online complaint form using the order number they provided. I was unable to complete the form as once again it did not recognize the information they provided.

      Hi *********,

      Thank you for escalating this issue to us. I took a look at your order with Rush Charge, order RT2M047JKIO5K3M3SAKGP0, and it looks like it was ****ed as delivered on Monday, July 22nd, 2024.

      We do require 5 days to pass before filing claims for orders that have been ****ed as delivered, but have not yet been received. As frustrating as it can be, most packages either show up late or are temporarily held up in local transit. Sometimes shipping carriers even **** an item as delivered a little early, and it may not arrive until several days later!

      As soon as 5 days have passed since the date of delivery, you will be able to file a claim using your Route order number (RT2M047JKIO5K3M3SAKGP0), and your email associated with the order, and our team will assist in resolving the issue ASAP.

      Thank you, and have a great rest of your day.
