What this status means
Buffalo has marked the parcel for return because delivery could not be completed. "Delivery unfinished" is a general reason: the courier does not say whether the cause was a missed handover, an address problem or something else. The parcel is no longer on a normal route to you. It is with Buffalo, either at a local depot or on its way back to a sorting point.
Is my package delayed?
This message usually means a problem. It is an exception, not a routine step, and the parcel will not reach you on the current route. Whether it can still be delivered depends on why the attempt failed and on what the seller or Buffalo decides next.
What happens next
The parcel is normally sent back toward the sender. Tracking may then show movement between facilities and finally a return or arrival message at the seller. In some cases the seller or courier arranges a new delivery attempt instead, but nothing in this message promises that.
What you can do
- Check that the delivery address and phone number on your order are correct and complete.
- Keep checking the tracking history for updates over the next days.
- If you still want the parcel, contact the seller first and ask them to arrange redelivery or reship the order.
- Have your tracking number and order details ready when you contact the seller or Buffalo.
