lost package

Delivery gone astray

A lost package is a shipment that fails to reach its intended destination and cannot be located by the carrier.

The term usually implies the package entered the delivery system but disappeared somewhere along the way—distinct from one that was never sent or was stolen after delivery.

I filed a claim for the lost package.

The tracking just stopped updating—it's a lost package at this point.
