APC Delivered But Not Received
APC delivered but not received means APC marked the parcel delivered, but you can’t find it at the delivery address. Try not to worry — this usually turns out to be a parcel left in a safe place or scanned a little early. Start with the delivery proof and nearby safe places below; most parcels turn up within a few hours to a day, and only then is it worth reporting it missing.

Why Does APC Say Delivered But No Parcel Arrived?
An APC parcel may be left at a safe place, reception desk, local collection option, with a neighbour, or somewhere around the delivery address. Sometimes the “delivered” scan lands a little before the drop-off, so it arrives shortly after. The delivery postcode and consignment number help you confirm the correct APC Choice tracking record and its proof of delivery.
Check these first
- APC Choice delivery details
- Front door, porch, side entrance, and mailbox area
- Reception, mailroom, concierge, or business desk
- Neighbours and anyone else at the address
- Safe place or delivery instructions
- The delivery postcode used for the consignment
Wait a Little Before You Panic
Because drivers sometimes scan a parcel as delivered just before the drop-off, give it a short window — a few hours, and up to 24 hours — before treating it as lost. Many “delivered but missing” parcels appear on their own within that time.
What to Do If the APC Parcel Is Still Missing
- Save the 7-digit consignment number and delivery postcode.
- Check the APC Overnight Tracking page for tracking help.
- Read Package Missing for a full checklist, and delivered but not received for the general steps.
- Contact the sender or retailer and explain that APC shows delivered.
- Contact APC if the sender asks you to, or if APC Choice gives a support option.
If You Think the Parcel Was Stolen
If a delivery photo or note shows your parcel at your door but it’s gone, theft is possible. Keep the proof, check any doorbell or CCTV footage, tell the retailer (many refund or resend a stolen parcel), and report it if the value is high. If it’s simply late, see where is my package.

APC Delivered But Not Received FAQs
Should I use my billing postcode or delivery postcode?
Use the delivery postcode linked to the APC parcel. A billing postcode may not match the tracking record.
Who should I contact first?
For online orders, contact the sender or retailer first. They can confirm the shipment and help with replacement, refund, or investigation steps.
How long should I wait before reporting it?
Give it a few hours, and up to 24 hours, in case the scan came just before the drop-off. If it still hasn’t appeared, contact the sender.
