What is First Attempt Delivery?

“First attempt delivery” typically refers to the initial effort made by a delivery service or courier to deliver a package or item to its intended recipient. When a package is shipped, the delivery service will make the first attempt to deliver it to the address provided by the sender. If the recipient is unavailable or if there are other delivery issues (such as an incorrect address or access issues), the delivery may not be successful on the first attempt. In such cases, the delivery service may leave a notification or attempt to contact the recipient to schedule a second delivery attempt or provide instructions for pickup.
