Royal mail delivery attempted address inaccessible
A frustrating situation!
When Royal Mail delivers a package and the address is inaccessible, it's usually because the delivery driver was unable to reach the address due to various reasons. Here are some possible explanations:
- Incorrect or incomplete address: The address provided might be incorrect, incomplete, or not up-to-date, making it difficult for the delivery driver to locate the recipient.
- Locked or inaccessible property: The property might be locked, gated, or have restricted access, preventing the delivery driver from delivering the package.
- No answer at the door: The recipient might not have been at home or didn't answer the door, causing the delivery driver to leave a card and attempt to redeliver the package.
- Delivery to a shared address: If the package is addressed to a shared address, such as a business or apartment complex, the delivery driver might not be able to determine which individual the package is intended for.
What can you do?
- Check the tracking information: Log in to your Royal Mail account or check the tracking information to see if the package was attempted to be delivered and why it was not successful.
- Contact Royal Mail: Reach out to Royal Mail's customer service to report the issue and ask for assistance. They may be able to provide more information about the attempted delivery and help resolve the issue.
- Provide alternative delivery instructions: If you're unable to receive the package at the original address, you can provide alternative delivery instructions, such as delivering to a neighbor or a local post office.
- Wait for redelivery: If the package is still being held at the local post office, you can wait for it to be redelivered. Royal Mail will usually attempt to deliver the package again within a few days.
Remember to always double-check your address and provide accurate information to avoid any issues with delivery.
