where’s my package?

if your tracking says “delivered” but it’s not on your doorstep, don’t worry just yet. it was most likely dropped off somewhere. here is a quick checklist to help you find it:

---

1. do a quick search

check the fine print: look at your tracking info again, it often mentions exactly where the driver left it (like a side porch or the mailbox)

search the perimeter: it might be tucked behind a planter or a pillar to keep it safe from the elements

the neighborly wave: check in with the folks next door. sometimes drivers leave things with a neighbor by mistake

verify the address: peek at your order confirmation to make sure there wasn’t a tiny typo in the shipping address

2. the “wait and see” rule

honestly, sometimes the system gets a little ahead of itself and marks things as delivered while they’re still in the truck. give it one or two more days, it usually pops up!

3. still missing? time to investigate

if it’s been a few days and you’ve searched everywhere, it’s time to call in the pros:

ring up the carrier: get in touch with the courier through their site. have your tracking number ready so they can start an investigation and file a claim
