If the driver cannot accept the package (s) due to dimensions or other reasons, Uber will mark it as cancelled and the shipment may be refunded.


What happens if the package can't be delivered?


Prior to placing your shipment, you have the ability to choose what happens when your package cannot be delivered.


If you didn't select the "Signature" option, there are three choices to choose from including Leave at Door. If Leave at Door or Return is selected, the driver will take a photo of where the package was left.


If you do select the "Signature" option and no one is available, then only Return or Discard options are available as it cannot be left at the door.

The ShipID can also be entered by you, or the recipient at track.shiptime.com to view the latest tracking information.
