Guide Protection + Returns

Guide Purchase Protection has been a great partner for our business. Our customers really appreciate having the option for added protection on their purchases, and it’s been a win-win for both our customers and our team. The claims process is straightforward and easy to navigate, which helps create a better overall customer experience. From an operational standpoint, the Guide team has also been extremely responsive. Any backend or coding-related issues we’ve encountered have been addressed quickly and efficiently. Overall, Guide has been easy to work with, responsive when we need support, and a valuable addition to our Shopify store. We’ve been very happy with both the service and the partnership.

Guide has been a genuine lifesaver for us as a small business that ships a lot. USPS never honors their claims and makes the process very complicated for the recipient which we of course dont want. We rely on return customers. Guide is prompt, kind, efficient and FAST. I hope they never change or get bought out. I reccommend them to all my small biz friends.

We were using another package protection app that turned into a billing nightmare for us - we were seeing hundreds of charges for .98 - 1.29 going back two years. They couldn't explain the charges but kept charging us. We switched to Guide and it's been smooth sailing since. Switching over was easy and well-managed. No billing nightmares, no unexpected charges. For our customers, the claim process is straightforward and settled quickly. Thank you Guide!

Onboarding with Guide was seamless and took hardly any time at all. The services have been great so far definitely full service, freeing up time for our team to focus on other tasks! Highly recommend!

Our experience with Guide has been exceptional. We have been a client of Guide for more than two years, and throughout that time, their team has consistently delivered outstanding service and support. The support team is always responsive, claims are handled efficiently, and resolutions are reached quickly, leaving our customers satisfied and confident in the process. One of the things we value most is the unwavering support we receive from the Guide team. They are always willing to collaborate with us to find the best possible solutions, especially when navigating complex situations such as fraudulent claims. The Guide team consistently provides fast, fair, and effective resolutions. A special shout-out to our representative, Cam Weston. Cam has been an absolute pleasure to work with and truly feels like an extension of the NRML team. His authenticity, professionalism, responsiveness, business-minded approach, and consistency have made a significant impact on our experience. Having a partner who genuinely cares about our business and our customers is invaluable. Thank you to the entire Guide team for your exceptional service and partnership. We greatly appreciate everything you do and look forward to continuing our successful relationship for many years to come. SG Chief Operating Officer NRML

The customer support has been the best I've worked with, bar none (thanks, Cam!). I've always received a prompt and thorough response to any questions or issues, and this app has taken a lot of shipping-related stress off our company's shoulders. Highly recommend!

Excellent service! When a customer lost their package, the claim process was simple thanks to the provided link. Customer service quickly answered all my questions. Considering the frequent shipping issues nowadays, this protection is a relief for any merchant. Highly recommended for both new and established stores.

Great app! Guide has been a terrific addition for our business and customer shipments. While Guide offers a pretty seamless (and painless) claim process for our customers, it offers an additional benefit we did not expect. It offers new customers another layer of order assurance and confidence when ordering, which helps strengthen conversion rate. Claims are paid our promptly and seamlessly. I like that the insurance price is low for our customers, making it easier for customers to accept vs other services out there. And, that we ourselves do not incur any fee for using the service. The only thing we did not factor in is replacement product shipping costs on orders where shipping was free - like when the customer has free shipping on an order over "X" dollars. While Guide does cover the replacement product cost, it does not cover merchant fees required to ship out the replacement. So keep that in mind for parcels travelling far. It is still a benefit however, in that it reduces the merchant's overall cost for replacing shipments gone awry. Customer service has been excellent. We had a few issues with initial set up in our liquid theme code, and they were quick to respond and get it all working smoothly. Highly recommend!

I love this app. It makes our job so much easier. With the failure rate of shipping companies these days, this app is essential for small businesses. Our customers who have had to file claims have the easiest experience. Their service is top notch. It's refreshing to have an app with support that is responsive & helpful!

So far so good! Everything has been fairly straight forward and when had questions the developer was responsive.

love guide! i’ve been using it for a few months and no issues at all! it’s much better than the other shipping insurance i had

After using this app for a few months, I've had a couple of issues with customers not being able to file claims once their package was loss/damaged. After contacting customer support, Cam W. was quick with responding and was able to look into my account and assist with this issue.

I run an online store. After one of the carriers lost an item I had shipped to a customer, I had to send a replacement, resulting in losses and an unhappy customer. At that time, I didn't have any protection. That's why I am very pleased to have Guide Shipping Protection for my shipments now.

unfortunately we were really disappointed with the set up process and lack of support. We were unable to add the widget to our cart, despite following all instructions. when we reached out for support we didn't get a reply.

Easy installation and plenty of options to help your customers. puts it on the cart page and gives the customer the option to opt in or not

I highly recommend Guide. There setup is much easier than other insurance companies. There prices are also very reasonable which has made most of our customers choose to buy the shipping protection. The integration in our site looks very professional and makes it easy for the customer to purchase.

If you’re on the fence about which shipping insurance app to choose, let me help you decide—go with Guide! Spencer, our Account Rep, has made everything from installation to daily operations smooth and stress-free. His quick replies and proactive support have made all the difference. Not to mention, Guide offers some of the best rates and terms we’ve seen in the market. Truly a superior choice for Shopify users.

I switched to Guide Shipping Protection after competitor rates increased. So far, the experience has been great. Customer service is quick, with questions answered promptly within 24 hours. Onboarding was also a breeze and took just a few minutes. After submitting a claim or reaching out via email, customers received updates within 24 hours with actual solutions. With Guide's competitive rates, customers are more inclined to opt for shipping protection with their orders which greatly helpful as a seller.

In my business, I take pride in our quick, seamless fulfillment process. We strive in a 1-2 business day processing time, as customers enjoy and come back for. In the days of Amazon, customers and people love to get their online purchases quick and efficiently. Using Guide helps create so much additional value to our shipping ethics. First, it's affordable, our customers love to spend the pennies to protect their packages and precious items. With Guide, me and my customers share comfort in mind that their items will be protected. Great app, affordable, and helps with customer retention for sure. 5 stars all the way!

I have not had the chance to use Guide just yet. I have downloads the app. I’m excited to start using this service as they have great offers and I know my customers will be delighted in using this at checkout to insure their packages are delivered safe and secured.

A very good and competent package protection service. The onboarding team is incredibly helpful. Toggle options are fully customizable. Their policies and processes are super helpful and after filing a claim and sending over an email to their team, updates are received within 24 hours with actual answers. Speak with their team as soon as possible, they truly have a great system and an incredibly user friendly program!

This is such a simple but VALUABLE app. Being so affordable, a lot of our customers use it to protect their packages, and it takes the stress off of us since we no longer have to purchase separate shipping insurance. Cam is AMAZING to work with too! I've had a couple of small issues that he has responded to usually within minutes to a few hours at most... almost always the same day. Great app & wonderful customer service!

I recently started using Guide Protection's Shipping Insurance for my online business, and I couldn't be happier with the results. This service has truly been a game-changer for me and my customers. One of the biggest concerns for online retailers like me is the possibility of lost, damaged, or stolen packages. It's not only frustrating for customers, but it can also lead to a loss of revenue and a significant headache when trying to resolve these issues. However, since I started using Guide Shipping Insurance, all of those worries have vanished. The best part about Guide Protection is how incredibly easy it is to implement. With just one simple click at checkout, my customers can protect their packages, giving them peace of mind and ensuring a smooth shopping experience. This seamless integration has not only improved the overall customer experience but has also increased my revenue. Customers appreciate the option to safeguard their orders, and that translates into increased sales and loyalty. What truly sets Guide Protection apart is their commitment to instant resolutions. In the unfortunate event that a package is lost, damaged, or stolen, they don't just leave you hanging. Instead, they step in promptly and replace the item directly from your site. This level of service not only saves me time but also ensures that my customers are always taken care of, even in the face of unexpected mishaps. In addition to the outstanding service, the team at Guide Protection has been a pleasure to work with. They are responsive, professional, and always ready to assist with any questions or concerns. In summary, Guide Shipping Insurance has been a fantastic addition to my online business. It has simplified the shipping process, increased my revenue, and provided an extra layer of protection for my customers. I highly recommend Guide Protection to any online retailer looking to alleviate the stress associated with lost, damaged, or stolen packages while boosting their bottom line. It's a win-win solution that I'm thrilled to have found.

This is a must have if you are shipping orders. No greater anxiety than when a customer says their package is missing, but complete relief when you see they protected their order with Guide. Guide team has been great to work with and we would recommend it to any retailer.

I love this app! So many customers add it to orders! I always hated as a brand, for customers to come complaining when orders get lost or shows delivered but they never receive it. Its SO nice to still get paid for the re-order and not lose money. Thank you GUIDE!

Guide app is a really helpful tool for my store. Easy to set up the customer service is amazing and always very friendly. It covers my orders as before I had a lot of issues with lost or stolen orders. To file a claim is a pretty straightforward process. Even set up a separated page on my website for claims which looks exactly how I wanted. Thank you.

We reached out to Guide a little over a year ago when we decided to move our site to the Shopify platform. We received a quick response from Ryan with Guide to send us over some information and set up a quick call to see exactly what our needs were and if they would be a good fit. They were quick to help us get set up and their response time to our customer's claims has been much quicker and less of a hassle for us then when working with normal 3rd party insurers. Our customers can provide all information quickly and efficiently directly to them. We love that our customers pay directly for this service and can opt in or out based on their needs. We're a very niche business with the majority of our products being custom made with extensive lead times, Guide just overall gives us and the customer a secondary layer of safety once the product is out of our hands whether its a high cost custom item, international shipment, or even an LTL shipment. We're very happy with the current service. We have found this service to be instrumental in keeping our customer satisfaction high.

My mind has been at peace since the day I installed Guide shipping protection. Filing claims with USPS was a hassle and they always reject our claims, even when the tracking number shows that it was delivered to a different zip code. Chelsey, my contact from Guide team has been so helpful. She has helped me tremendously dealing some difficult claims. The one thing Guide can improve on is their processing time. Overall, i am a happy client and will continue to use Guide for my business.

This app has truly transformed the way we handle shipping and customer satisfaction. The seamless integration into our Shopify store was impressive, and the user-friendly interface made it incredibly easy to set up and customize the shipping protection options. What we love most is how Guide Shipping Protection has significantly minimized customer concerns about lost or damaged shipments. The added layer of security and peace of mind for my shoppers is priceless

I've been using Guide Shipping Protection for a while now. They are so incredible to use! I love that the customer gets to choose if they want to protect their package and can pay an extra fee themselves for a low cost. It makes the process so much easier and less stressful. Love using them!

We have used Guide for over 2 years now. It has given us peace knowing that once our packages leave our store they will be taken care of if anything happens. Anytime we’ve had a customer file a claim, Guide responds to them within a day. Very thankful to have this option for our customers.

Had some issues, but I was able to reach out to them to solve them. A good option for shipping protection.

This app is a great alternative to those like route who will overcharge and stick you in boxes. At Route they jumped the price 3x in a few months which turned to heavy drop in conversion and i eventually ended the relationship because they were trying to collect almost a 4% coverage cost. Guide will work with you to find a balance between the cost and your customers experience. There are things that have happened like double charges and in store pick up charges, which you've seen in some reviews here, but they've been attentive and have made strides to better their solution.

Guide gets a 10/10 from the team here at Vette Lights! They have been instrumental in keeping customer satisfaction up and helping avoid those awkward times of waiting on the carrier to come back and close out an investigation after weeks of customer frustration. Would 100% recommend to anyone that regularly ships customer orders and is looking to make for a pain free process for their customers when the unexpected occurs!

It's safe to say, if your shipping out products from your online store you should have insurance. It's a good peace of mind to have when doing e commerce business.

Poor customer service. Constantly charging my customers double or triple. Cannot get the refunds. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

We have had an amazing experience with Guide. Their team is extremely responsive; It's refreshing. We used another app for over two years, but Guide made the switch easy. We couldn't be happier with this partnership. Their team truly is interested and invested in the success of our brand and the customer.

This app is a life saver! It allows us to offer our customers a higher level of customer service, while freeing up more time for our team. Also they have the most responsive customer service. Cannot recommend enough.

This app ease of mind for our customers and helps us pass on some additional cost. Very straight forward and fairly easy to setup. They have made some updates recently that have made it easier during workflow.

I am so happy to have installed this app. So many of my customers are taking advantage of this. No headaches and straight forward compensation for shipping protection. Good luck to the team here.

Guide has provided our customers extra layer of security and many of them opt-in. We have had 2 shipments damaged by couriers so far and dealing with Guide has been straight forward process, both to us and our customers. We recommend them to protect your shipments.

This is a total disaster. support is terrible. cannot process claims. total scam as far as I am concerned.

I use this app for my website. It gives me a piece of mind that my customers can purchase extra protection if there order gets lost. I no longer feel a burden to have to send a new package if protection was not purchased. Thank you

I love the idea of the protection. I had a bit of trouble setting it up because I’m not tech savvy whatsoever. But I will be using it for the first time today. And hope this will ease my customers minds about their packages.

Thus far this app seems like it will help with shipping issues. No problems so far! I can’t wait to see what it’s really about.

Here is a bit of information I wish we had known before installing the GUIDE app. First, the dashboard is "under construction", so you have no access to the app other than to install it. You must reach out to support to make any changes or updates. Secondly, when a customer does purchase GUIDE, they receive no information from GUIDE. We changed the language on our site to direct the customer on how to make a claim, but GUIDE currently offers no customizations and doesn't offer any auto messages. Thirdly, we offer our customers the option for IN-STORE pick up instead of shipping, and our customers are mistakingly or unknowingly buying GUIDE for their in-store pick ups. They are of course wanting a refund for GUIDE after they realize the mistake. We contacted GUIDE about the issue. We hoped to just remove GUIDE from orders that select "in-store pick up". The only solution they offered us to get a refund is GUIDE must have access to all our orders so they can verify we refunded the customer for GUIDE on an in-store pick up. Basically, the app doesn't seem fully developed. I gave GUIDE 2 stars because I do think the app seems to have potential but for now, it's lacking a lot of features we expected to have. Last issue, I have reached out to customer service 2 times asking what happens to potential claims if we decided to uninstall the app...I haven't gotten a response.

The customer service responses have been terribly slow. We agreed to a revenue split, and then Guide never paid us. When we try to ask where our money is we are ignored.

Great product. Allows us to save revenue and saves of time rather than having to file a claim with carriers.

So many of our customers include this in their orders! It has taken so much weight off our shoulders when it comes to dealing with upset customers over their lost/damaged in shipping packages! Truly does help out! Only reason I give it 4 stars and not 5 is because their only reimbursement method is PayPal. If you don't have that it's very limited in how they can reimburse you for the gift cards they issue.

Very easy to install I added a claim page to make it easy for buyers to put in a claim as needed . So far so good had a buyer put in a claim recently I ask them to report any bad experience. They reported they were delighted with the experience and results. Worth a try. Sam Diy Part Center Inc

This app has been a pivotal part in simplifying shipment tracking for my customers! It has made such a difference in my customer service records, and everyone who has used it when purchasing a product on my site has raved about it.. giving the customers a good piece of mind. Thank you!

So far this app has been very beneficial for a few of my customers. One of my customers said they never knew this existed till they saw it available on my site.

02/17/2021 Update: They got back to me and answered my questions. App in great and I appreciate getting back to me. They said they were slammed with the Holidays/COVID and they didn’t have a big team. I understand but would say they should work on that a little. But overall The app is good, very easy and user friendly. 01/03/2021 Okay app, Great potential. Horrible customer service. Emailed them once they got back to me, Awesome! Emailed them back the same day (in less than a hour) to ask a couple more questions... nothing. Emailed them again the next day to see if they received my message... Nothing.. So I gave it almost 3 weeks to try one more time... Nothing. This app has potential but I still have questions and I feel bad to leave a bad review but I would like to continue using this app.

This app is great for our customers. It really takes the worry out of what to do about lost shipments. Installation was a breeze. A big win for the customer!

Excellent customer support. They got my up and running in no time and provide excellent technical support.
