Held in depot for redelivery – Our driver has attempted to deliver your parcel. It has been returned to the depot as the attempt was unsuccessful. If we were unable to deliver your parcel securely directly to you the first time, the driver will have left a “We called to deliver / collect your parcel” card. Please read this card as it will tell you whether:

• We will deliver the parcel again tomorrow.
• Your parcel has been left with a neighbour.
• Your parcel has been taken to your local Post Office branch.

If you would like to arrange for your item to be redelivered on a different day, to a different address, to a Post Office or if you would like to collect it from our depot please visit our Receiving a parcel page.
