Thailand Post

Unsuccessful (physical) delivery

Thailand Post tracking parcel

What this status means

Thailand Post's delivery person tried to hand the parcel over at the delivery address, and it did not work. The parcel is still with the local post office that serves your address, not lost. The message does not say why. Common reasons are that nobody was there to receive it, the address could not be found, or the parcel could not be handed over at the door.

Is my package delayed?

A failed attempt is an exception, but usually not a serious one. It means delivery has not happened yet, so the parcel will arrive later than it would have if the first attempt had worked. The message by itself does not mean the parcel is lost. In about half of cases the next update is "Final delivery". Sometimes the message repeats after another failed attempt, which happens roughly a quarter of the time.

What happens next

  • Most often, the post office tries again and the status changes to "Final delivery".
  • In about one in ten cases, the parcel is moved to a collection point and you are expected to pick it up.
  • Sometimes it goes back out for delivery, or the message repeats after another failed attempt.

What you can do

  • Make sure someone can receive the parcel at the address, and keep your phone on in case the carrier calls.
  • Check that the address and phone number on your order are complete and correct.
  • If the status does not change for longer than the previous steps took, or the message repeats, contact your local Thai post office with your tracking number.
  • If the address on the order is wrong, contact the seller and keep your order details ready.
