What is a delivery attempt?

A delivery attempt occurs when a carrier tries to deliver a package to the recipient, but the delivery is unsuccessful – typically due to the recipient not being available or an incorrect address.

Delivery attempts in eCommerce

In eCommerce logistics, failed delivery attempts can lead to delays, additional costs, and a poor customer experience. Modern fulfillment systems help reduce failed attempts by enabling precise delivery tracking, proactive notifications, and flexible delivery options. With everstox, brands benefit from integrated carrier tracking, performance analytics, and real-time status updates to improve first-attempt delivery success.

Example of a delivery attempt

A courier arrives at the delivery address, but no one is home. The everstox system logs the failed attempt, updates the tracking status in real time, and notifies the end customer automatically.
