Missed Delivery, Sorted

Missed Delivery, Sorted — Identify the available options, deadlines and time details in a missed-delivery notice.

A Notice on the Doormat

You get home after work and find a delivery card by the door. You were expecting a parcel, but the notice says the driver could not leave it safely. Before contacting the delivery company, check what the notice actually offers: the redelivery options, any deadline, and the times you can choose. Read the notice and see how Maya works out a practical next step.

Maya Reads the Small Print

Maya found this notice when she got home: > We tried to deliver your parcel today. We couldn't leave it in a safe place. Choose one option by 6 p.m. tomorrow: > - Request redelivery to your address. Available slots are 8–10 a.m., 10 a.m.–12 p.m. or 2–4 p.m. > - Collect your parcel from the collection point on King Street, open weekdays until 8 p.m. > > Reference: PX4186. Maya works from home on Friday afternoon, so the 2–4 p.m. delivery window suits her. The collection point is convenient too, but she would have to leave work early. She decides to request redelivery and writes a short email before the deadline. She includes the reference number, names her preferred slot and asks the company to confirm whether it is available. A clear request gives the delivery team the details it needs without making the email unnecessarily long.

Polite, Not Overly Formal

W krótkim mailu do firmy kurierskiej po angielsku zwykle wystarczy uprzejme, bezpośrednie sformułowanie, np. “Could you redeliver the parcel on Friday?” albo “I would be grateful if you could confirm the time slot.” Nie musisz używać bardzo formalnego języka. Podaj numer przesyłki i konkretną godzinę, żeby ułatwić obsługę prośby.
