As an inveterate online shopper, this happens more and more often to me and I have struggled to understand why.  “Delivery attempted” notices from companies like Amazon often result from the complex logistics of shipping and tight driver schedules. While most drivers do their jobs properly, some may skip actual delivery attempts to stay on schedule, especially third-party drivers. Sometimes, drivers take photos from their trucks to falsely document a delivery attempt.

What is there to do? To address repeated “attempted delivery” issues, you can:

• Sign up for delivery alerts to act quickly.
• File a complaint with the delivery company, including tracking details.
• Use home security footage to dispute false attempts.
• Re-route the package to a nearby pickup location to ensure receipt.
