Amazon Shipping Non Delivery Report (NDR) and Claims

  • Updated

NDR (Non Delivery Report)

When your package has its first go at delivery but doesn't quite make it, or if for some reason it's rejected, we want to make sure we get it right. With NDR, we ask for your feedback through Shipper Central. You get to tell us if you'd like us to re-attempt the delivery, or if you'd prefer it to be marked RTO.

Non-Delivery Report (NDR) enables shippers to schedule redeliveries in case of a failed delivery.

You need to file NDR within 4 days of the undelivered shipment post which the shipment is marked RTO.

In case of a failed delivery, the following events take place:

  1. DA marks the package as Delivery Attempted/Rejected/Undelivered and returns the package to the delivery station [Package status changes from Delivery Attempted/Rejected/Undelivered to Hold for Redelivery]
  2. A 2nd attempt is made and the shipment automatically goes out for redelivery the very next day.
  3. In case of a 2nd failed attempt, DA again marks the package as Delivery Attempted/Rejected/Undelivered and returns the package to the delivery node station.

A 3rd attempt is made and the shipment automatically goes out for redelivery the very next day. [Package status changes from Delivery Attempted/Rejected/Undelivered to Hold For Customer Request]

How to create NDR

The NDR option is available after the 1st attempt. Shipper can raise an NDR request by using the Shipper Central portal. You can choose from one of 3 options:

1. Reattempt with Address Notes - This will trigger a reschedule with additional delivery related info that the shipper provides. (Address related info, etc.)

2. Reschedule Delivery - This will trigger a reschedule for a date given by the shipper.

3. Return to Origin - This will trigger a return event. This is used incase the customer asks the shipper to return the package. Nothing else needs to be given for this option

STEP3: Save excel and upload NDR
