Lost, stolen, or damaged packages means more work for you and your team. When shipping issues arise, Route becomes an extension of your brand by providing a one-click claims experience that leaves your customers feeling confident in their purchasing decision.
Turn reorders into revenue
In some cases, if a package was lost, damaged, or stolen, you have to send a replacement. Instead of eating the costs yourself, Route automatically repurchases the item from your site, and you record a second sale.

Frequently asked questions
How will this affect my checkout flow and conversion rate?
Route is designed to create a premium shopping experience for your customers during and after checkout. Better experience means more repeat customers and a higher ROI.
Doesn’t UPS and FedEx already cover this?
It is a common misconception that transportation carriers automatically cover lost and stolen items. This is not the case. Transportation carrier liability is generally limited to $100 and does not extend to all types of goods. Furthermore, a transportation carrier’s liability ends once the package is delivered on your doorstep. Even filing a claim that may fit within a transportation carrier’s limited liability is incredibly difficult frustrating.
Does Route cover porch pirating/stolen items?
Yes! When orders are insured with Route, any items stolen off of your customers porches are covered by Route, NOT the merchant, even after the item is marked as delivered. 11 million Americans had packages stolen last year alone and with the increase in online shopping this number just keeps growing.
Is this really something my customers will want?
Your customers always have a choice whether to select Route or not as an optional item at checkout. Our merchants see 20-40% of their customers selecting Route, proving that people are looking for a better shipping protection solution. Even if your store offers to replace items in some instances, its the SHOPPER that is requesting this be added.
Over the past 4 years, Route has become the Internet’s premier shipping insurance app with over 350,000 customers. During this time we have gathered an overwhelming amount of data around this question, here are some of our other favorite stats:
41% of customers have stated they’ve avoided purchasing online to prevent package theft. 53% of customers say they would pay more for an item if the company offered theft protection. 61% of customers feel that online retailers are NOT doing enough to prevent package theft.
How does Route Plus protect my shipments?
In order for Route App, Inc. (“Route”) to extend Route Plus protection to customers, Safe Order Solutions (Route’s licensed producer entity) procures a cargo insurance policy from Roanoke Trade through Lloyds of London that designates Route as the named insured (the “Route Policy”). The Route Policy extends coverage to shipments where the transportation is tracked through Route.
How much does Route cost?
Route is free for merchants. The cost to shoppers is only around 1.5% of the cart value to fully protect your customers from lost, damaged, and stolen items.
Can I test Route to make sure it works for my store?
Yes! If you are on Shopify you can install and uninstall with the click of a button. It’s very simple to test out to verify that it will increase conversion.
What carriers can be covered with Route?
Any licensed carrier that you use to make shipments will be accepted.
