What this sheet is for
Answer 'where is it' with a row instead of a search of the van, and show the depot that a failed drop was the address's doing and not yours.
Who it is for
Couriers and multi-drop drivers, and the depot staff who field the calls about parcels that did not arrive.
How to use it
- Add a row the moment a drop fails, while the reason is fresh.
- Record what you left — card, note, nothing — and where the parcel is now.
- When a redelivery is arranged, log how it was arranged and the date.
- Close the row with the outcome: delivered, failed again or returned to sender.
- Keep it with the week's run sheets.
What is on the sheet
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: Every drop that did not happen — why it failed, what you left, where the parcel is now and when it went out again — so the depot and the customer get one straight answer.

Questions
Why keep this separate from the run sheet?
The run sheet is one day in delivery order and has a row per stop. A failed delivery has a second and sometimes third life — a card, a call, a redelivery, a return — that does not fit on one row of a day sheet. This log follows the parcel until it is finished with.
How many attempts before a parcel goes back?
That is the operator's or the sender's policy, not the sheet's. Log each attempt and the return date; the count is then there to read.

Record what was checked at the door while the driver is still there, so a short delivery or a warm box is a dated line rather than an argument a week later.
