Failed deliveries
Catches failed delivery attempts the moment the carrier logs them, reaches the customer to fix the reason, and re-books the attempt — before the parcel starts its journey back.
Every return-to-sender is a delivery
that failed quietly three times first.
Three strikes, then return
Most carriers attempt three times, then ship the parcel back. Each failed attempt is logged in the feed — and read by nobody until the return-to-sender bill.
"Customer unavailable" usually isn't
A missing gate code, a closed office, a buzzer with no name on it. The fix is one message to the customer — that no one sends.
You pay for the round trip
Forward shipping, return shipping, restocking — and a refund on top. A return-to-sender isn't a delivery problem; it's a margin problem.
The carrier logged the failed attempt at 11:40 AM. The rescue window closed unread.
The failed attempt triggers a rescue. Not a return label.
- Attempt 1 failed 11:40 AM — reason: unavailable
- Order #4471: $186 — a full round-trip loss if it bounces
- Next attempt tomorrow, same window
Catches the failure code within a minute of the carrier scan.
Calls the customer — what happened, and what would make tomorrow work?
- Corrected address captured on the call
- Preferred window before 6 PM, weekdays
"They went to our old office! We moved — it's Suite 210 at 400 Maple Ave, and the front desk closes at 6."
Pushes the corrected address note and window to the carrier against the tracking number.
- Delivered 3:05 PM attempt 2, corrected address
- Return-to-sender averted — round-trip cost saved
Delivered! Thanks for the correction — we've saved it for your next order too.
Failure, fix, redelivery — one thread, 27 hours.
- 4 customers silent after 3 messages across channels
- Hold vs return drafted per parcel, cost attached
Decide the silent four: hold at hub, one more attempt, or accept the return.
31 round trips not paid for. The four losses are decisions, not accidents.
Same parcels. They arrive this time.
| Moment | Before Clarwiz | On Clarwiz |
|---|---|---|
| Failed attempt | A line in a feed nobody reads. | A rescue call within minutes. |
| The reason | Guessed from a carrier code. | Asked on a call, answered, fixed. |
| Address fixes | Lost in a support ticket. | Pushed to the carrier against the tracking number. |
| High-value orders | Same queue as every other parcel. | First in line — the loss is largest. |
| The return-to-sender bill | A surprise at month end. | Each return a signed decision, not a default. |
Can it actually change the delivery with the carrier?
What about customers who never reply?
Does it prioritize high-value or signature-required orders?
Will this annoy customers who just weren't home?
What do we need to integrate before a demo?
