Missed your delivery?

If you’ve missed delivery, it’s likely that the driver will attempt again the day after the initial attempt, or your parcel may be taken to a local pickup point for collection.
We recommend you check our tracking page regularly for updates.


There may be some in-flight options available to you, depending on which courier has been chosen to deliver your parcel. 

To access in-flight options, you will need to have the courier tracking reference and the delivery post code handy.

Delivery to a safe place

Delivery to a safe location is an available solution however it is at the couriers own discretion whether they deem your selected 'safe location' safe enough.

This is a great solution if you know you're not going to be in to receive delivery but don't want to wait or rearrange delivery for another day. The following options may be available to you if you choose to collect your parcel.

 

  • Collection from a local drop-shop or pickup point.
  • Collection from a locker.
  • Collection from a local depot.

 

Request a return
