lost mail
Postal service failure
Lost mail is postal matter that fails to reach its intended recipient and cannot be returned to sender—gone astray somewhere in the system.
Mail becomes lost through misdelivery, damage that obscures the address, or simple disappearance.
The package never arrived; it must be lost mail.
Postal services maintain dead letter offices to handle items that can't be delivered or returned.
