Question
What should I do if my delivery arrives when no one is available to accept it?
Answer
If no one is available to accept the shipment, you are not going to lose the package. Carriers like UPS follow a standard reattempt process, and the tracking number gives you several ways to take control of the redelivery.
- Automatic reattempt: the carrier typically tries again on the next business day.
- Reschedule: use your tracking number to arrange an alternate delivery day that works for you.
- Redirect to pickup: you can often send the package to a nearby carrier pickup point to collect at your convenience.
- Leave instructions: some carriers let you authorize a safe drop-off location in advance.
Keep your tracking number handy from the shipping confirmation email, and if you need help coordinating with the carrier, support can assist.
