lost shipment
Vanished en route
A lost shipment is a package or delivery that fails to reach its destination and cannot be located in the carrier's system.
The term appears in shipping disputes, insurance claims, and customer service contexts: We filed a claim for the lost shipment.
Unlike delayed shipments, lost ones have gone missing entirely—misrouted, stolen, or simply vanished without tracking updates.
