In one of the instances where AliExpress tells you “Delivery unsuccessful,” the accompanying message is, “Your package couldn’t be delivered because the recipient wasn’t at home.
Under most circumstances, this tracking update is vague as many recipients have argued that they are mostly at home when such is sent.
So, what gives? Let’s find out.
What Does, “Your Package Couldn’t Be Delivered Because The Recipient Wasn’t At Home” Mean On AliExpress?
This AliExpress tracking status means that the last-mile carrier tried to hand over an AliExpress package, but no one answered the knock on the door.
It’s vital to note that they assume whenever a knock isn’t answered, there is no one at home which is unfortunately unfortunate.
Some carriers knock once, wait for a few seconds, and then disappear. In the real sense, some recipients are usually indoors and probably miss the knock due to busyness, an afternoon knock, or simply attending to the call of nature.
What Do I Do Whenever AliExpress Tells Me There Is No One At Home While There Is?
Look At What Local Company Is Involved
Since the default AliExpress tracking system doesn’t show all the details, we recommend using free third-party package tracking sites such as 17Track and Parcelsapp to re-track your item.
Since such sites offer real-time updates, you will be able to see what local companies are involved in claiming they attempted to deliver your item.
From there, you can contact them to reschedule the delivery and place your item somewhere safer whenever they knock again and you fail to answer.
Go And Pick Your Item If Applicable
After confirming the local delivery company, you can opt for self-pick-up if their nearest distribution center is near you.
Since AliExpress mostly uses local national carriers for last-mile deliveries, it could be that you will find your item in your local post office. This might turn out more efficient than having to wait for them to redeliver your parcel.
