Route Package Protection

Q: What are Route & Route+?
Route
Route offers a few options to improve the experience of shopping with the Tres Chic Trendz Boutique.  Your order history and additional free shipment tracking are two great additions that you will surely enjoy with Route!

Route+
Route+ Shipping Insurance is a low cost, optional add-on for your Tres Chic Trendz Boutique orders, with 100% coverage for customers who want that extra level of assurance and protection from lost, damaged or stolen packages. At only 98¢ for orders under $100, or 2% of the total for orders over $100, the cost is minimal for that peace-of-mind.

When you purchase Route+ at checkout, you can easily file claims for lost, stolen or damaged packages in the unfortunate case that they arise. You can deselect Route+ at checkout if you do not wish to add package protection.  Route will either reorder your product for you or will refund the actual cost you paid for your item(s), excluding taxes and shipping.

If you elect to not purchase Route+ insurance, you will still have all the benefits of Route and access to insurance from the United States Postal Service (USPS) or United Parcel Service (UPS) in the event the package is lost or damaged in shipment.  Tres Chic Trendz Boutique does not insure packages for loss, theft or damage during the shipping process.  Claims must be filed by you directly with USPS or UPS.

IF YOU CHOOSE TO NOT PURCHASE ROUTE+ PACKAGE PROTECTION, YOU WILL NEED TO DE-SELECT THIS TOGGLE AT CHECKOUT.

Q: When do I file a claim?
Lost Item
An item is considered lost if it is never 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"

Claims are considered "lost" after 7 days without a tracking status update (20 for international) and must be filed no later than 30 days from the last update.

Damaged Order
If your item arrives damaged, unusable, or otherwise in an unacceptable condition, we invite you to file a claim right away. Please remember to include pictures of the item(s) and packaging. Claims for damaged item(s) can be filed right away. Damaged claims must be filed within 15 days from the date it was marked delivered. 

Stolen Package
Route considers packages marked "delivered" (and not received) as stolen. We ask that you wait 5 days from the day the package was marked delivered; it is common for packages to be scanned as delivered and not show up for a few days. Stolen claims must be filed within 15 days from the date it was marked delivered. Please know that orders that are stolen with a purchase price greater than $100 will REQUIRE a police report.
