You are at work when the courier rings the bell

Short answer: If you are at work when the courier arrives, the parcel is usually left somewhere else, or the courier leaves a message. Check the notification so you know where and when you can collect it. You can also agree a different delivery method next time.

What usually happens

When nobody answers, the courier will normally try to deliver to a neighbour, leave the parcel at an agreed place, or leave a message about how to get hold of it. It depends on the delivery terms, so look at your email or text message. That is where you usually find what has happened.

Read the notification first

The notification tells you where the parcel is and what to do. It may name a pickup point, a deadline and perhaps a code. Read it carefully before you act so you do not make a wasted trip. If you are unsure, reply through the contact point given in the message.

Agree a place for the parcel

Many people can agree that the parcel may be left in a certain place, such as at the front door, in a shed or with a neighbour. Give notice in good time, and write a clear description for the courier. Remember that you are responsible for the place being safe and dry if you choose it.

Use a neighbour or colleague

A neighbour who is home during the day can take the parcel if you ask beforehand. Some choose to have the parcel sent to their workplace, if that is allowed, so it is not missed. Always ask first, and remember that parcels take up space, especially when you order several items such as clothes.

Consider collecting instead

If you are often out, it may be easier to choose a place where you collect the parcel yourself from a shop when it suits you. Then you do not depend on someone being at home. You can see earlier in the process what options exist, and choose the one that fits your working day.

Follow the parcel on its way

Many people get a tracking link so you can see when the parcel is on its way. Use it to plan whether you can be home, or whether you need to arrange something else. That way you avoid coming home to a note after a long day. You can also see what others choose among the bestsellers for men.

When the parcel is finally in the house

Open the parcel and check that the contents match the order. Try the clothes on quickly so you know whether the size is right, and keep the packaging until you are sure. If something has to be exchanged, it helps to have everything to hand. Many look at bamboo hoodie for men when they want something soft to relax in.

Make it easier next time

Once you have tried it, you know what works for you. Make a note so you can use it again, and save it in your profile if the shop offers that. You can see more among the bestsellers from Copenhagen Bamboo when you order next time.
