If the item is lost by a shipping carrier, you can file a claim here.
PLEASE READ THE LOST PACKAGE POLICIES BELOW
Packages presumed to be lost
Order issues for packages presumed to be lost by the carrier (where the status is not "delivered") must be filed no sooner than 7 days after the last tracking update for United States domestic shipments (20 days for international shipments, including Canada unless a Canadian merchant is shipping within Canada in which case the 7 day domestic shipment timeline applies) and within 30 days from the last checkpoint.
Invalid address or delivery barriers
Sometimes carriers cannot deliver the customer’s package due to an invalid address or other unexpected delivery barriers. At this point, the carrier might return the package to the sender/retailer. The customer’s package is not actually lost, thus Route does not cover this. In instances where the item is being returned to the sender and is reusable, customers will be referred to the retailer.The exception is retailers that ship perishable items (e.g. food, a mattress that cannot be reused).
Only part of the order delivered
If the customer ordered several items in one package but only part of the order arrived and there is no evidence of tampering, Route does not cover the order issue. The customer will be referred to the retailer. If a single order is being shipped in multiple packages and one package does not arrive, Route will cover the order issue and reorder or refund the value of the undelivered package.If the retailer forgets to ship an item from the customer’s order, the customer needs to reach out to the retailer to have the missing items fulfilled.
Packages labeled "return to sender"
Route does not cover packages labeledreturn to senderbecause the order has been sent back to the retailer. Items are returned to sender when a customer provides an invalid or undeliverable address or refuses a delivery. At our discretion, we may cover the order issue if the returned item is perishable or if the retailer is unable to reuse it.*Route covers the customer’s order if the package gets lost in-transit back to the sender.*
*Please note: Route Package Protection timeframes for filing apply.
Order stuck in customs
Route cannot cover when a customer’s order is stuck in international borders/customs.The customer’s next step is to pay the customs fees in order to receive the package.If Route replaces something the customer has already paid customs on, under Route’s discretion, Route can approve and pay customs the second time.
Order marked as unfulfilled or unshipped
If the customer’s order is marked asunfulfilledorunshipped, the order hasn’t been fulfilled yet by the retailer (retailer could be low on inventory of the items, internal delays with the fulfillment center, etc.).Route does not control how quickly the retailer ships the customer’s order. Route Package Protection is not yet in action because the order has not shipped.
Order issue filed too soon
If the customer is filing an order issue the same day that the package was marked as delivered, at our discretion Route may ask you to wait 5 business days. Carriers (Canada Post, FedEx, USPS, UPS, DHL, etc.) sometimes prematurely mark the package as delivered when it’s still in transit.
If the item is damaged by a shipping carrier, you can file a claim here.
WE WILL REFUSE ALL REQUESTS TO REPLACE BOX PACKAGING. BOX PACKAGING IS THERE TO PROTECT THE ITEM INSIDE THE PACKAGING. IT IS NOT CONSIDERED DEFECTIVE.
PLEASE READ THE DAMAGED PACKAGE POLICIES BELOW
Broken items
If the customer received a broken item and needs to dispose of it (i.e. shattered glass), the customer needs to check their city ordinances and dispose of it properly.The customer does not need to ship it back to the retailer (unless the retailer indicates otherwise).
Damaged items
A damaged item is considered to be a broken product that is unusable, clearly fractured, shattered, bent (if not bendable), crushed, etc.Routed oes not cover cosmetic damage (scratches, dents, etc.), manufacturing damages, packaging errors, or unsealed items.At our discretion, we may offer a 15-30% refund depending on the severity of the cosmetic damage.Route requires further evidence of the customer’s damaged item (i.e. more photos, videos, etc.).
Subscription items
For existing subscriptions where your customers have purchased Route Package Protection, if any of your customer's items in the subscription were lost, stolen, or damaged in transit and can be purchased individually, Route will reorder them. If the items cannot be purchased, then Route will refund the items.Route cannot reorder and create an entirely new subscription because Route would be paying for the customer's monthly subscription.
Customized items
Route cannot reorder customized items for the customer because of the additional liability of ordering the customer’s custom item incorrectly. Route can offer a refund instead.
Out of stock
Route doesn’t have visibility to the retailer’s inventory or when they will have the customer’s item back in stock.Route can offer the customer a refund for the item that is out of stock. The customer can always use that refund to order the item when it’s back in stock.
If the item is stolen by a porch pirate, you can file a claim here.
