If, on the contrary, you have not received any note, please contact us at banana@join-banana.com
What can I do if the tracking says my package is delivered, but I don't have my package?
If the delivery has been completed by the driver, then the tracking status of the package or a delivery notice should indicate where the driver left the package. Shipments that do not require a signature may be left in a secure location at the discretion of the driver. This includes the front porch, side door, back porch, or garage area.
If the tracking status indicates that the delivery person completed the delivery and obtained a signature, it's possible that a neighbor or another resident in your location may have signed for the package. If the driver delivered your shipment to an alternate location, you should have received a delivery notice indicating where the delivery was dropped off (for example, a neighbor's house, a pickup point, or the post office).
Check with the other people who live around you as a neighbor, to see if someone else has picked up the package. You can also look for the package around the entrances to your residence, particularly on back porches, bushes, garages, barbecue grills, or other places that may protect your package from theft or weather. Please note that delivery drivers may use plastic bags to protect your package from the weather.
If you still have not been able to locate the package, contact the carrier directly. The carriers have their internal systems that can check the delivery status.
Finally, if the carrier confirms that the package was delivered and you suspect that the package may have been stolen from your building, from the mailbox or from the door of your house, you have to report the theft to the police. Send us a copy of the police report so we can start the claim process with the carrier.
To submit your claim, please contact us at banana@join-banana.com
