delivery attempt

Package drop effort

A delivery attempt is a carrier's effort to bring a package or shipment to its destination.

When recipients aren't available, carriers typically leave a notice and may make additional attempts: After three failed delivery attempts, the package was returned to sender.

The term appears frequently in shipping notifications and tracking updates.
