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.
What is the Importance of First Attempt Delivery?
Here are the reasons why first attempt delivery is important in last-mile delivery process:
- To improve customer experience and retain customers
- To minimise additional cost
- To increase “word-of-mouth” marketing
- To gain a competitive edge
How to Ensure First Attempt Delivery?
If you handle your last-mile or logistics tasks manually, you cannot ensure that your orders will be delivered on time or increase the rate of first-attempt deliveries. On the other hand, automating the majority of logistics processes through the integration of last-mile delivery software, such as TrackoMile, into your company can significantly improve the likelihood of a first-attempt delivery.
