Due to Operating Conditions, Your Package May Be Delayed—Explained
If you have been informed that, due to operating conditions, your package may be delayed, it’s possible that one of the following issues occurred:
- The address you provided contains incorrect info
- You weren’t present when a courier driver attempted to make a delivery
- There was incorrect information in the order form you completed (a city name written in a street name field or similar)
- You changed the delivery address after the initial address was confirmed by the system
- Customs caused a delay due to incorrect or incomplete documentation
- The access to your property requires a courier to have an access code that you failed to provide when placing the order
- The items you ordered were marked as undeliverable—certain items are restricted and can’t be transported, so if you order such an item, it will probably cause a delay
- There were unforeseen situations, such as bad weather, roadblock, or other occurrences outside the courier’s control
- Certain temporary technical issues occurred—in situations like that, you should be informed that an issue arose, and a new delivery time estimate should be provided
The good news is that no matter which of these issues caused a delay, you can contact a courier and have it resolved. If they are unresponsive or refuse to cooperate, you can file a claim for a missing package and request a refund.
