Practise contacting a seller about a late parcel.

The idea

Give the order reference, explain when the parcel was due and ask when it will arrive. Mention the tracking status if useful.

Examples

  • My parcel has not arrived yet.
  • It was due on Monday.
  • My order reference is AB123.
  • The tracking page has not changed since Friday.
  • Could you check where the package is?
  • When can I expect it to arrive?

Watch out

A tracking status is not a guaranteed delivery date. Ask for an estimate instead of assuming that it is certain.
