Handling Undeliverable Parcels and Delivery Challenges with Urgent Couriers
Delivering parcels efficiently and accurately is a fundamental priority for Urgent Couriers. However, certain situations may arise where the original delivery address or method is not viable. This article addresses how Urgent Couriers manages such cases, including handling PO Box addresses, inaccessible delivery locations, and mail forwarding restrictions.
Address Confirmation and Validation
When a parcel is originally addressed to a PO Box or a situation arises where the intended delivery location is inaccessible, alternate methods or fallback actions are undertaken to ensure compliance with company policies.
Undeliverable to PO Boxes: If a consignment is addressed to a PO Box and no response with an alternative address is provided within 5 business days, the item will be returned to the sender. This ensures timely handling of undelivered parcels, as prolonged storage is not feasible for operational reasons.
Handling Non-deliverable Parcels
Certain situations may prevent a successful delivery, such as no access to the address or lack of a contact number. Urgent Couriers follows specific protocols:
Delivery Failures Due to Inaccessibility: For instances where delivery is unsuccessful due to lack of access to the destination and no contact information is available for resolution, the parcel will be directed to an operational center for return. The original sender may be required to coordinate further actions with Urgent Couriers.
Restrictions on Mail Clearance and Forwarding from PO Boxes
Urgent Couriers provides mail clearance and redirection services. Here is what customers need to know:
Urgent Couriers provides mail clearance services for PO Boxes, limited to forwarding within Auckland. Forwarding mail outside Auckland is not supported by their operational framework. Customers intending to use the mail clearance service should ensure an alternative Auckland-based delivery address is available to facilitate forwarding without delay.
