If you’ve ever experienced the frustration of having a package marked as undeliverable and returned, you’re not alone. This issue can be particularly confusing and stressful, especially when dealing with international shipments from platforms like AliExpress. Here, I’ll provide some steps and advice on how to resolve this situation effectively.
A recent query from a customer highlighted this problem. They had a package sent to the correct address, but due to an error by the delivery service, it was marked as incorrect and returned. Here’s how to handle such situations:
Steps to Resolve a Returned Package Issue
- Check the Tracking Information: The first step is to verify the tracking information provided by the delivery service. Ensure that all details, including the address, are correct. In this case, the customer provided a tracking number (LR082204970NL), which should be entered on the PostNL tracking page to check its status.
- Contact the Delivery Service: If the tracking information shows an error or return, contact the delivery service immediately. Explain the situation and confirm the address details. Sometimes, the issue can be rectified before the package is returned to the sender.
- Reach Out to the Seller: If the delivery service advises contacting the sender, do so as soon as possible. Provide the sender with all necessary information, including the tracking number and the correct address. The sender, as the paying client, has the authority to request further actions from the delivery service.
- Monitor the Return Process: Keep an eye on the tracking updates to see if the package is indeed being returned to the sender. Once the sender receives the package, coordinate with them to resend it to the correct address. This might involve verifying the address again to prevent future issues.
Contacting the Seller
