LCS Failed Delivery, Complete Action Guide

Table of Contents

Leopards Courier makes two delivery attempts. If both fail, the parcel is held at the nearest LCS Express Center for 7 business days. You can collect it with your CNIC and CN number, or arrange re-delivery by calling 111-300-786.

Why Deliveries Fail

Leopards Courier failed deliveries happen for several reasons, and the action you need to take depends on the cause:

  • Recipient unavailable: Nobody was home or at the business address during delivery
  • Phone unreachable: Rider couldn't contact the consignee by mobile
  • Wrong or incomplete address: Missing flat number, wrong street, or unclear landmarks
  • Delivery refused: Recipient refused the parcel (wrong item, changed mind, COD amount dispute)
  • Area access restricted: Gated community, security checkpost, or blocked road
  • Parcel damage: External packaging damaged requiring sender authorization to open and inspect

How to Reschedule LCS Delivery

Call +92 (21) 111-300-786 with your CN number and request a redelivery schedule. You can specify:

  • Preferred delivery date (next 1–3 business days)
  • Preferred time window (morning, afternoon, evening)
  • Alternative contact number if original is incorrect
  • Address clarification or landmark instructions for the rider

What Happens If I Don't Collect Within 7 Days?

If the parcel is not collected from the LCS Express Center within 7 business days of being held, LCS initiates the Return to Origin (RTO) process. The parcel begins its journey back to the original sender. This RTO transit takes 3–7 business days. The sender receives the parcel back with no COD collected (for COD shipments) and may incur return shipping charges depending on the account agreement.
