Undeliverable address calls before the parcel returns
A missing unit number sends a parcel back to you, and you pay shipping twice for a customer who's now unhappy. The agent calls the buyer the moment the carrier flags it, gets the right address and fixes the shipment.
A carrier scan says address problem, missing unit, refused, or held at a depot.
Calls the buyer, reads back the address, takes the fix or a pickup point, updates the shipment.
Parcels delivered instead of returned, and fewer orders shipped twice.
How it works
- Watches the scans
Address problem, missing apartment number, business closed, or held for pickup. Each one starts a call while there's still time.
- Calls the buyer
Within your calling hours, with the order and what the scan said: "No unit number on the label."
- Reads the address back
Slowly, line by line, so the buyer hears what's wrong. Unit, buzzer code and postal code each checked.
- Fixes the shipment
Updates the delivery address or redirects to a pickup point near them, the way your carrier allows.
- Texts the new details
The corrected address, the tracking link and where to pick up if it's at a post office.
- Flags what it can't fix
A parcel already on its way back goes to your shipping team with a note to reship once it lands.
Example call
- AI agentHi, is this Aisha? It's Emma from Northline Supply Co. Your order 10531 is stuck, and I think it's an easy fix. Got a minute?
- CustomerOh no. Sure.
- AI agentThe carrier couldn't deliver because there's no unit number. I have 245 Queen Street East in Brampton. What's the unit?
- CustomerOh, 1408. I forgot it. And the buzzer is 1408 too.
- AI agentGot it, unit 1408, buzzer 1408. I've updated the shipment, and it's back on the truck for Thursday. I'll text you the tracking link.
- CustomerThank you, I'd have never known.
After the call: Order 10531 shows the corrected unit and buzzer, the carrier has the updated address, and Aisha has a text with the new delivery day.
What your team gets
- Bad addresses fixed while the parcel is still at the depot
- Fewer return-to-sender parcels and double shipping costs
- Buzzer codes and pickup points saved on the order
- A list of parcels already returning, for reshipping
- Every attempt logged on the order
Questions
How fast does it call?
As soon as the scan comes in, inside your calling hours. A late-night scan gets a text right away and a call in the morning.
Can it change the address itself?
Yes, where your carrier allows an address change or a redirect. Otherwise it sends the fix to your shipping team.
What if the buyer doesn't answer?
It leaves a short voicemail and a text with a link to confirm the address, and tries again before the carrier's deadline.
