Registered mail attempted delivery notice

[BZFingers]

I am sending packages as registered mail so I can track them.

If you do the same, please, advise, what to do if there is a message:
Attempted delivery. Notice card left indicating where item can be picked up.

How long do you wait until sending a message to your buyer?
Thanks

A few days. Some people, like me, live on a rural route. They don't deliver packages there, they just leave you a slip and tell you to come and pick it up. This is pretty common, so I only go to the post office on Mondays and Fridays to get my mail.

Others may well do the same. If it's been 2 - 3 days, I would send along a message just to let them know! :)

I'd wait a few days too.

Is there no way to send your items with just a tracking number? If the recipient isn't home to sign for registered mail, then they have to go to the post office to pick it up (or have it redelivered and hope they'll be home then) even if they normally leave packages. I've had a couple of international orders that were sent registered mail and it was a huge pain for me because they couldn't leave the packages with my apartment office like usual.

To echo Maggie, I would definitely contact your customer and state the issue you saw in the tracking info. If they didn't see the slip or track the package, they would never know it was at the PO waiting for them to come pick it up. It shows you're concerned (which you are!).

Thanks, I thought so too. Just wanted to know your opinion.

Another question is on the package that I sent to France. On Israel tracking page it says it was sent to France on August 14.
I cannot track it on France post service site because I simply cannot navigate it - it is all in French.
How long should I wait until messaging to my customer there?
Seems that by now it should be delivered. Also there are no flax seeds warmers included, the package shouldn't be held in quarantine ;)
