What Does Delivered to Agent for Final Delivery Mean?

If a USPS driver attempts to make a delivery, but you’re not present to receive the package, they will ask someone to take the package on your behalf—usually an authorized person or a family member. Once that happens, the tracking status will say ‘’delivered to agent’’.

An agent refers to whoever receives the package, but it doesn’t only have to be an authorized person. Packages often end up at the local postal service, and the USPS tracking system shows the same status.

The USPS final delivery agents are the drivers who deliver packages to you or someone on your behalf. If the tracking system shows that your package is delivered to an agent for final delivery, it’s likely in the driver’s hands, and they’re on their way to deliver it to you or an agent.

How To Reach Out to USPS Customer Support

If you want to clear up any confusion and ask USPS representatives what you want to know directly, here’s how you can contact them:

You can’t file a claim if your USPS package isn’t damaged or missing. Since you’re still waiting to see whether the parcel will reach you, you should hold off with filing a claim. If USPS doesn’t manage to locate your parcel, you will be able to file your lost package claim within 60 days of the mailing date.

When Can I Request a USPS Refund?

USPS allows refunds only for the delayed items that were sent using either Priority Mail or Priority Mail Express. The Priority Mail items will be considered delayed if you don’t receive them in more than five days from the date of mailing. The Priority Mail Express packages should arrive in no more than two days.

Before requesting a refund, you should gather the following documents:

• The tracking number
• The purchase receipt
• Your photo ID

Don’t forget to prepare all of the above-mentioned documents since USPS can refuse to issue you a refund if you don’t provide them.

You can request a refund:

1. Online—Visit the official USPS website and submit your request
2. In person—Fill out the required forms at any USPS location
3. With DoNotPay—Let our app request a refund in your stead using the info you provide
