La Poste of France

Your Colissimo will be returned to the sender because the address given was incorrect or incomplete

La Poste of France tracking parcel

What this status means

Colissimo, the parcel service of La Poste, could not deliver your parcel because the address on it was wrong or missing details. The parcel is being sent back to the sender. It is somewhere in the Colissimo sorting network, not yet back with the seller.

Is my package delayed?

This is an exception, not routine progress. The parcel is no longer heading to you, so it will not arrive unless the address problem is fixed. Interestingly, the next scans are often ordinary journey messages, such as the parcel continuing towards its destination territory, so the tracking can look unclear for a while. The return may also take longer than the earlier steps.

What happens next

  • Most often, the tracking shows the parcel continuing its journey.
  • Less often, it is shown as moving to a logistics platform or, occasionally, as ready at a pick-up point.
  • Once back at the sender, the seller can usually resend it or refund you.

What you can do

  • Check the delivery address you gave the seller for missing details such as a building, floor, door code or postcode.
  • Contact the seller quickly with the corrected address and your order details. They are the ones who can ask for a new delivery.
  • If an earlier message asked for more address information, contact Colissimo customer service with your tracking number.
  • If the parcel does not come back to the seller or the tracking stops, ask the seller or Colissimo to investigate.
