What documents are required to pick up a package?
To pick up a package, you will generally need a valid ID (like a passport or driver’s license) along with the tracking number. If someone else is picking it up for you, they may need a power of attorney to do so.
How can I track my package’s status?
You can check the status and location of your package by entering the tracking number provided by the sender into the transport company’s website or app, where you’ll be able to monitor its journey.
Can I change the delivery address after the package has been sent?
In some cases, it’s possible to update the delivery address after dispatch. You will need to contact the transport company promptly to provide the new address. Whether this is allowed depends on the current stage of delivery and the company’s policies.
How long will my package be held at the collection point?
The time a package is held at the pickup location varies by transport company, but it’s usually between 7 and 14 days. If not collected within that time, the package might be returned to the sender or moved to storage.
What should I do if my package is damaged on arrival?
If your package arrives damaged, here’s what you should do:
1. Photograph both the external packaging and the contents to document the damage.
2. Report the damage to the transport company immediately.
3. Contact customer service to file a compensation claim.
What if I can’t collect my package personally?
If you’re unable to collect the package yourself, you can:
1. Authorize someone else to pick it up with a power of attorney.
2. Check with the transport company about options for redelivery to another address or at a different time.
3. Use a parcel locker service if that option is available for your delivery.
What should I do if my package is delayed or lost?
If your package is delayed or lost, follow these steps:
1. Track the package using your tracking number.
2. Contact the transport company to inquire about the delay or loss.
3. File a formal claim with the transport company, including all relevant documentation.
4. Wait for their response and proceed with compensation if applicable.
