What Is Route? Route is shipping insurance that covers lost, damaged, or stolen items. Protect your order for $0.98 USD if the cart is less $100, or 1% of the cart value if the cart total is over $100.
When To File A Claim [Per Route]
- If your order is lost
An item is considered lost if it never is reported as Delivered. This can also include if your order has been stuck in any shipping state OTHER than "Delivered" You may file a claim if enough time has been allowed for delivery to take place and it's well past the expected delivery date, or if your order is stuck in a shipping state other than "Delivered". As a general rule we consider two weeks past the estimated arrival date a "reasonable amount of time" for which a claim can be filed for a lost order.
- If your order is broken
If your item arrives damaged, unusable, or otherwise in an unacceptable condition, we invite you to file a claim right away. These types of claims can be resolved Please remember to send pictures with your claim if your item is broken. Moderate to severe shipping damage is always covered.
- If your order is stolen
We consider a variety of factors to determine whether an order is considered lost or stolen such as: type of residence, whether or not the order was left on the doorstep, amount of time that has past since the order status changed to delivered. If your order has been reported as delivered but you have not received it, in some cases it will be delivered within a day or two. If after a few days you still have not received your order, this would be considered lost or stolen. Please file a claim as soon as you suspect that your order might be lost or stolen.
**** If you have purchased optional Route Shipping Insurance and you decide to return the item, please note, the insurance fee is nonrefundable!
