What if the courier arrives and no one is there?

Updated at: 2026-01-20 10:44

Sometimes couriers arrive and find no one there - which is frustrating for everyone. Here’s what happens:


No one present within the scheduled time window?

The courier will first try to call the pickup or delivery contact.


After 2 call attempts and 15 minutes of waiting

If they can't reach anyone or hand over the item(s), they’ll leave. The transport may be cancelled or, in consultation, a second attempt may be scheduled.


Missed appointment costs

Courier receives 75% of the fee as a call-out charge

Main booker is refunded 25%

A second delivery attempt may incur extra costs


Make sure someone is present on time and check the tracking page for the ETA.
