Possible Causes of Delivery Delays
While every effort is made to deliver shipments within the estimated timeframe, certain circumstances outside normal logistics operations may affect transit schedules. Understanding these factors helps set realistic delivery expectations.

What Happens When Delivery Cannot Be Completed?
When a shipment cannot be delivered successfully, the carrier may hold the cargo, arrange another delivery attempt, request additional information, or return the shipment depending on the circumstances and applicable service conditions.
Recipient Unavailable
If no authorised person is available to receive the shipment, the carrier may leave a notice, contact the recipient, or schedule another delivery attempt.
Incorrect Address
Missing, incomplete, or inaccurate address details may prevent delivery until the correct information has been confirmed by the sender or recipient.
Refused Delivery
If the recipient refuses to accept the shipment, it may be held temporarily, redirected, or returned to the sender according to carrier procedures.
Restricted Access
Locked premises, security restrictions, inaccessible roads, or missing building instructions may prevent the carrier from reaching the delivery location.
Unpaid Duties
International shipments may remain on hold when customs duties, taxes, storage charges, or other required clearance fees have not been paid.
Returned Shipment
A shipment may be returned to the sender when delivery remains unsuccessful, clearance requirements are not met, or the permitted holding period expires.
