Sadly have come back to change my review to 1 star. Shiptection put on a very false front making you think they actually offer what they are advertising but after using them for a prolonged period we have found they are just another typical insurer who only has their interest at heart, not the customers. We have had constant glitches with the app when it was turned on to automatic, which heavily impacted our conversion rate. We chose to remove it from the site and move to manual adding, this is when everything came unstuck. At the point we weren’t insuring every order the claim rejection began, then they sneakily tried to turn our insurance on the auto add which meant we were paying insurance on all orders without consenting to it. When I addressed this our manual function stopped working, so we emailed asking them to add the insurance for us. Without explanation they contacted us telling we are no longer insurable - we have had extremely minimal claims and the last few were all rejected. Apparently if they can’t take advantage of you and force you to pay insurance on every order, whether it’s needed or not, it’s not beneficial to insure you. Your options are - have insurance on your website and have a glitchy site that affects conversion, or ask for manual B2B insurance and be rejected for your claims because you aren’t paying them enough. 100% steer clear! We were disappointed to see you changed your 5-star review, as it seems to have been done in response to our decision not to continue working with you. When we notified the merchant, we told them we would honor all policies while providing refunds for all recent transactions. We spent significant resources internally to try to make ShipTection work for the merchant and were hoping to part ways on good terms. App Performance on Site: Our team reviewed ShipTection’s functionality on their site but other 3rd party apps continued to interfere with our app. We agreed that removing ShipTection from the cart was the best idea until we had a different solution. B2B ShipTection: Regarding B2B ShipTection malfunctioning, we have hundreds of sites using it and no one else has reported an issue. We checked logs for errors and never saw any app performance issues. We also never changed any settings without the merchants consent.

I have only just installed the app, however the install was simple and the assistance was efficient. Fingers crossed for a good experience!

Started getting inundated with fraudulent orders after installing this app, all linking back to an affiliate. Reached out to customer support, zero support given, just denial. Wouldn't recommend.

This is Stark from the UpPromote support team. We believe there may be some misunderstanding here and would like to clarify. You mentioned that the orders were placed using a compromised credit card. Since you had already denied the referral and removed the affiliate from UpPromote, we suggested contacting the buyer for more information, but we didn't hear back from you. Please note that the app isn't able to control who places an order or who uses the affiliate links — however, we'd genuinely love to know if there's anything else we can do to help.

Edit - Since writing this review we continue to have issues. Route again asked us to replace an order at our expense and promised us reimbursement within the week, it is now going on 2 weeks with daily follow ups where we are repeatedly lied to and told that the money has been paid when it in fact hasn't. They are falsifying information in the dashboard and not making payments even when they say they are - extremely fraudulent and dishonest company. STEER CLEAR UNLESS YOU WANT YOUR MONEY STOLEN. We have since found an honest and efficient company who offers far better and honest service and actually reimburses your money in a timely manner or reimburses direct to the customer. Honestly have found the whole experience disappointing. When we signed up we didn’t realise we pay for the replacements and reimbursements up front, they refund direct from your Shopify store and create unpaid replacement orders without notifying you, meanwhile Route continues to debit their fee, so we are essentially paying them to provide the service for them and they don’t even tell you that they process claims in this sneaky manner. They debit their money every 2 - 3 days, but then we wait sometimes months for reimbursements so we are out of pocket for long periods. We don’t have an account manager and contact is complicated and confusing. We have also recently learned that we are charged nearly a $50 fee per reimbursement. We were never told this at time of sign up and were not given options. We will be looking for a more honest and reliable provider. Also, expect the customers premiums to go up if your customers actually make claims. Apparently you are penalised for using the claim service.

Hi there, Thank you for reaching out to us regarding your experiences. We are so sorry for any miscommunications or confusion that occurred during the billing/reimbursement process at Route. In order to provide a great customer experience, the small Route Protection fee is initially collected by the merchant after a customer orders their items and chooses to add Route Protection to their order. We then have the merchant transfer that small Route fee for the insurance back to Route - typically on a weekly basis. When Route reorders or refunds a claim filed by one of your customers, we use our claims automation system to complete this process within seconds in the merchant’s platform and will reimburse you back for those claims resolved. The process is ideal for both the customer and the merchant as it’s incredibly efficient and effective to solve customers’ claims as quickly and correctly as possible. If you have remaining questions or concerns regarding your reimbursements and billing with Route, we encourage you to contact us using our Live Chat feature in our Merchant Portal here: https://merchants.help.route.com/hc/en-us. We would be happy to help. Our apologies again for any miscommunications, and we’d love to continue to partner with you. Have a wonderful day, Leea, Customer Service
