How do I investigate delivery issues reported by shoppers?

Use Delivery Issues to review shopper-reported delivery problems, narrow by category or cause, and collect the right support evidence.

Written by Max Villemure

Quick answer

Use Orders > Delivery Issues when a shopper reports a delivery problem. Start with the Dashboard, narrow the issue with filters or search, and collect evidence before marking anything resolved.

Common use cases

  • Merchant support: Investigate shopper reports about delayed, missing, damaged, or otherwise problematic deliveries.

  • Admin: Review issue categories and causes across a warehouse or merchant.

  • Operations lead: Use analytics for patterns instead of one-off case handling.

When to use this

  • A shopper reports that a delivery has a problem.

  • Support needs to categorize or investigate a delivery issue.

  • Operations wants to review delivery issue patterns.

Before you start

  • Confirm the shopper report belongs to the correct merchant and order.

  • Keep customer names, addresses, tracking details, and private messages masked in screenshots.

  • Do not select Resolve or Unresolve unless your team has confirmed what the action changes.

Steps

  1. Open Orders, then choose Delivery Issues.

  2. Use Dashboard for active issue review.

  3. Use the warehouse, merchant, problem category, and problem cause filters to narrow the queue.

  4. Use quick search by order ID, merchant, delivery date, or shipped-on date.

  5. Review the issue details alongside the shopper report and shipment/tracking context.

  6. Use Analytics for pattern review, not individual case resolution.

  7. If the issue cannot be explained from the visible record, contact support with the evidence below.

What to do next

The issue category or cause is unclear.

Do not guess. Use the closest visible information and include the shopper report when contacting support.

The issue appears to affect many orders.

Use Analytics for pattern review and send support the merchant, warehouse, date range, and examples.

You are unsure whether to resolve the issue.

Pause before selecting Resolve or Unresolve until your team confirms the operational effect.
