Green Package Protection

Powered by Route

What is Route?

Route is a shipping insurance company that provides carbon-neutral shipping, advanced order tracking and seamless issue resolution for companies that truly care about their customers and the planet.

What is “Green Package Protection”?

Green Package Protection is the combination of shipping insurance and carbon-neutral shipping that we offer our customers free of charge.

This means that every shipment that leaves our doors is protected against loss, theft or damage AND is funding projects that help offset the carbon generated from the shipment in the first place (more on that below).

Long story short, Green Package Protection is better for you AND the planet.

How does Carbon-Neutral Shipping work, exactly?

Route partners with Patch, a carbon credit marketplace, to facilitate the purchase of carbon credits to neutralize the emissions created by your shipment. Carbon credits represent a certified unit of carbon removal or avoidance delivered by environmental projects that can be purchased to naturally remove carbon from the air. Patch is a high-integrity carbon removal project that is vetted and certified by organizations like Gold Standard, Verra, Climate Action Reserve, and The American Carbon Registry.

How do I track my order with Route?

Once your order has been fulfilled by our team, a shipping confirmation with a tracking number will be emailed. You can download Route’s mobile app – available for iOS and Android – to visually track your package and receive real-time notifications on its estimated delivery.
