What happens if you miss a package delivery?
If you missed a package delivery from the U.S. Postal Service, the mail carrier will typically leave a “Redelivery Notice” on your front door or in your mailbox to notify you that a parcel delivery was attempted.
Where do my packages go if not delivered?
We apologize the carrier did not have access to your mailbox. All mail is returned to your local Post Office™ facility to attempt delivery the next business day. A blocked receptacle could be due to a parked vehicle, local utility work in the area, weather conditions or emergency responders impeding access.
What is a delivery exception?
What does the “delivery exception” status mean? A delivery exception means your package is temporarily delayed while in transit due to unavoidable circumstances. We work hard to deliver every package as soon as possible, so a delivery exception doesn’t necessarily mean that your shipment will arrive late.
How long does delivery exception take?
How long does a shipment exception last? The duration of a shipment exception depends on what caused the delay, but most exceptions are resolved in less than seven days.
What does potentially delayed mean?
adj. a possible but not yet actual. b prenominal capable of being or becoming but not yet in existence; latent.
How many times will USPS attempt delivery?
The Postal Service (USPS) will make 1 or 2 attempts to deliver, based on the carrier’s knowledge. After the attempts, the package will be held for 15 days from the intial delivery attempt and then returned to sender.
What happens if USPS fails to deliver package on time?
If your Priority Mail Express mailpiece is not delivered by the guaranteed time, you can request a refund at USPS.com. Refunds will no longer be processed at Post Office locations.
