Route Insurance Policies

What if my packages is 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 you 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. You will be referred to My Secret Luxury.
• 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 My Secret Luxury forgets to ship an item from your order, you need to contact My Secret Luxury to have the missing items fulfilled.

 

Packages labeled “return to sender”

• Route does not cover packages labeled return to sender because the order has been sent back to My Secret Luxury. Items are returned to sender when a customer provides an invalid or undeliverable address or refuses a delivery.
• At Route’s discretion, Route may cover the order issue if the returned item is perishable or if My Secret Luxury is unable to reuse it.*
• Route covers your order if the package gets lost in-transit back to My Secret Luxury.*

*Please note: Route Package Protection timeframes for filing apply.

 

Order stuck in customs

• Route cannot cover when your order is stuck in international borders/customs.
• Your next step is to pay the customs fees in order to receive the package.
• If Route replaces something you have already paid customs on, under Route’s discretion, Route can approve and pay customs the second time.

 

Order marked as unfulfilled or unshipped

• If your order is marked as unfulfilled or unshipped, the order hasn’t been fulfilled yet by My Secret Luxury (My Secret Luxury could be low on inventory of the items, internal delays with the fulfillment center, etc.).
• Route does not control how quickly My Secret Luxury ships your order. Route Package Protection is not yet in action because your order has not shipped.

 

Order issue filed too soon

• If you are filing an order issue the same day that the package was marked as delivered, at Route may ask you to wait 5 business days. Carriers (FedEx, USPS, UPS, DHL, etc.) sometimes prematurely mark the package as delivered when it’s still in transit.

What if my package was delivered but is missing?

1. You file the police report and includes an explanation that Route is a package protection company that has protected your package that has been stolen. To process the order issue with Route, Route is requiring a police report.
