Package Marked Delivered But Not Received

Step-by-step action plan when tracking says “Delivered” but your package isn't there.

📜 Always Do These First (Any Carrier)

  1. Wait 24 hours — Carriers sometimes mark packages delivered prematurely (GPS glitch)
  2. Check all entry points — Front door, side door, back door, garage, mailbox, mailroom
  3. Ask neighbors — Driver may have left it with a neighbor to prevent theft
  4. Check with building manager — Apartments often have package rooms
  5. Review delivery photo — Most carriers now take a photo of delivery location
  6. Check tracking for delivery location — It may say “Left at front door” or “Left with neighbor”
