First, check with any neighbours or safe locations at your property (such as a porch or outbuilding). If you still cannot locate your parcel, please contact our customer care team and we will investigate the matter with the courier on your behalf.

If you miss a delivery, the courier will typically leave a card with instructions for rescheduling or collecting your parcel from a local depot.
