Delivery Troubleshooting (Address Issues, Courier Issues, and More)

Whether you are receiving or returning an item on Pickle, smooth delivery is a top priority. This guide covers what to do if something goes wrong during the delivery process.

Updated this week

Address Issues

Wrong Address Entered? If you realize you submitted the wrong delivery or pickup address:

  • Go to your Order page in the app

  • Tap Update next to the delivery or return address to make changes

  • If your delivery or pickup is already in progress, contact Pickle Support immediately

Note: Couriers can only be dispatched after the correct address is confirmed and a time slot is accepted in the app. If the item is delivered to the wrong address due to incorrect information you provided, Pickle may have limited ability to intervene — always double-check your address before confirming.

Courier Delays or No-Show

My courier hasn't arrived:

  • Check the Order page — if the courier was dispatched, tracking details will be available via text and/or in-app

  • Confirm that both parties accepted the scheduled pickup or drop-off time — no courier will be dispatched without mutual confirmation

  • If the courier is late or does not show up:

    • Reach out to the other user to confirm another sot would work with them

    • Propose a new time slot through the app

    • Contact Pickle Support to help reschedule or troubleshoot

Courier canceled: If a courier cancels due to weather, capacity, or another issue, propose a new time slot in the app and wait for the other party to confirm. The system will attempt to dispatch a new courier automatically.

Where is my courier? Once your delivery is confirmed, you will receive a tracking link via text with real-time updates. If you did not receive the text or it is not updating:

  • Check that your phone number is correct in your Pickle account settings

  • Contact Pickle Support with your order details and we will confirm the courier status for you

Shipping Issues

My package hasn't arrived:

  • Check the tracking link available on your Order page

  • Check your label for the correct carrier — always use the carrier listed on your specific label as this may vary by order

  • Allow for the delivery window based on the shipping speed selected at checkout

Tracking has stopped updating:

  • Wait 24 hours as carrier systems can sometimes lag

  • If tracking has not updated after 24 hours, contact Pickle Support with your order details and tracking number

Item marked as delivered but not received: If your tracking shows delivered but you did not receive the item:

  • Check with your doorman, building staff, or neighbors

  • Contact Pickle Support — we will need CCTV footage from your building and/or contact with building management to proceed with a claim

Note: Once a signature has been collected — whether by you, your doorman, or anyone at your address — the item is considered delivered and Pickle cannot be held responsible after that point.

Hand-Off Orders

If you are arranging a Hand-Off and the other party is unresponsive:

  • Message them through the Pickle app

  • Use the bump button to send a follow-up notification

  • If there is still no response, contact Pickle Support with the order name and username so we can help coordinate

Always arrange Hand-Offs in a safe, public location and keep all communication within the Pickle app. Do not leave items unattended — Pickle is not liable for items left without a direct person-to-person exchange.

Tips for Smooth Delivery

  • Always double-check your address before confirming delivery or pickup

  • Propose and accept time slots in advance — no courier will be dispatched without confirmed timing

  • Make sure your package is clearly marked with the recipient's name if handing off to a doorman or building staff

  • Keep your phone accessible during courier delivery windows

  • For shipped items, always check your label for the correct carrier and drop-off location

Still having trouble? Contact Pickle Support through the Offers tab in the app. Include your order details, relevant photos, and a description of the issue so we can help as quickly as possible.
