One of the most common questions relates to customers who have received a non-delivery card asking \u201cwhere do I collect my parcel<\/a> from.\u201d If you\u2019re not home when your parcel is delivered your non-delivery card should have the full address of your local depot for collection included, as well as a contact telephone number should you have any questions. You will need to take your non-delivery card with you,as it will help the parcels identify both you and your parcel much quicker. If you\u2019ve lost or destroyed your card you can still collect your parcel, but will need to take ID with you, check with your parcel to determine what information they require before leaving to collect your parcel or face potential disappointment.It\u2019s likely you will be asked for proof of address, a utility bill is a good example, as well as photo ID in order for them to sign your package over to you. It\u2019s always worth checking with the parcel company before collection to ensure you have all the information they\u2019ll need.<\/p>\n

Opening hours vary between companies, but details should be available either on their website or by telephoning for confirmation. Most companies will open late during the week at least once, and on a Saturday morning, to allow anyone who works full time the opportunity to collect their package before returning to sender. Parcels remain at their local depot for a minimum of on average a week and a maximum of three weeks, so if it\u2019s been some time since you received your non-delivery card it\u2019s a good idea to phone ahead to check your parcel hasn\u2019t been moved.<\/p>\n

Most parcel companies will attempt to deliver up to two times before leaving a non-delivery card with details for collection. In fact, you may receive cards that inform you of a failed delivery attempt and details of when they will make their next attempt before they will leave a non-delivery card. Depending on the policy of the parcel company used, you may be able to request your parcel is redelivered to an alternative address. Some are happy to redirect your parcel after one failed delivery attempt, but may only send it to your local post office rather than to another residential or commercial address. Some may refuse to deliver elsewhere due to the value of the contents of your parcel.<\/p>\n

If it\u2019s been several weeks since your parcel was dispatched and it\u2019s still not arrived you should firstly confirm with the sender that your parcel was dispatched and with whom. If they won\u2019t or can\u2019t follow up with the parcel then get in contact to ask for confirmation it is still en route. Each parcel company will have procedure in place in case a parcel goes missing and will have further information either on their website or via telephone, along with details on how to claim compensation should the worst happen and your parcel is untraceable.<\/p>\n
