Possible Reasons for Late Delivery

Most Amazon orders are delivered on time. However, some items can show up a few days after the estimated delivery. Some of the possible reasons for a late delivery with Amazon include severe weather conditions, incorrect address, international customs procedures or missing building or floor number. It's recommended to make sure you have input the correct shipping address to avoid delays with Amazon delivery. You can also set up your notifications to receive real-time updates on your order.

Amazon also offers guaranteed delivery on certain products. You'll know when the item has guaranteed delivery on the checkout page. When your order is offered guaranteed delivery and it's shipped late, you may contact Amazon regarding the order to get a refund on your shipping fee. However, make sure you're certain of the confirmed delivery date found in your confirmation email before contacting Amazon. If you have other issues with your Amazon delivery, please contact Customer Support.

What to Do When Package Shows Delivered

If you don't have the item yet but it shows delivered, check with your neighbors first and the carrier before contacting Amazon regarding your order. Make sure you contact Amazon within 30 days regarding your delivery. If the item is sold by a 3rd party seller, contact the seller directly.
