Though nothing is quite as delightful as getting exactly what you paid for exactly when you expect to, it doesn’t have to be a total drag when something goes wrong.
That’s why we made our claims filing and issue resolution process as easy as possible, and offer a range of solutions to fit your needs, whether it’s a speedy reorder, a gift card, or money back in your pocket.
Please note: The resolution options available to you are determined by each brand or retailer.
Replacements and reorders
If you select a reorder, you will receive a confirmation email from the retailer that includes your new order number as well as a receipt. Once the retailer fulfills the replacement order, you will receive another email with information about the shipping carrier (UPS, USPS, FedEx, DHL, etc.), tracking number, as well as links to track your package via the carrier’s website and Route’s web tracking page. You may also use the Route mobile app to track your package and receive updates on its progress. Note: Route covers the entire cost of a replacement, including Shipping Protection on the reorder. Please file a claim if your reorder is lost, stolen, or damaged in transit.
Refunds
If you select a refund, the funds will be returned to your original payment method, as a balance to your PayPal or Venmo account, or as cash on a prepaid Mastercard. The refund options available for you to choose from are determined by the brand or retailer. Note: The total refund amount excludes the cost of Route Shipping Protection.
