If A Shipment Has Already Left, Is There Still A Way To Stop It?

If A Shipment Has Already Left, Is There Still A Way To Stop It?

By:


Usually, once you get a shipment onboard a courier vehicle, you won't worry about it again until you receive confirmation that the customer has received it. There are times though, when everything won't be this simple. There are a number of situations that may come up which might require that you ask your Albuquerque courier to stop your shipment even though it is already in transit. Luckily, most courier companies now have systems in place to make this possible.

If you see that you're going to need shipments once they're already moving more than once in a blue moon, then you should get proactive with your courier company. Find out what systems they have in place for making such a request. Most courier companies have a very low margin of error on any request that you make to them, but on a time sensitive request like this, you have a better chance of ensuring that your desire is carried out if you use the preferred channel for letting the courier know about the stop on the shipment.

Usually, the two primary ways that you'll be able to contact a courier to let them know that you need to stop a shipment are going to be electronically, or by telephone. Most courier companies will have a preferred method for you to do this. If it's an extremely urgent stop and you're concerned about the message not getting through, you may even want to try both methods just to ensure that your request is heard and processed.

If you're submitting an electronic request, there may be multiple ways that you can request the shipment be stopped. Sometimes, a courier company will have an email address set up where you can send these types of requests. In other situations, their online client shipping software might have a spot where you can monitor all of your active shipments, and change their status, such as if you want the driver to not make delivery of a package.

Given no indication as to which way a courier prefers to be contacted, telephone might usually present itself as the best option. The reason for this is that when you submit an electronic request or email, you're not sure 100% if that message gets received until it is maybe too late. When you actually speak to someone on the phone, you have much great confirmation that your package is going to be stopped before it is delivered.
