missed delivery

Package not received

A missed delivery is a delivery attempt when the recipient wasn't available to receive the package or mail.

Carriers typically leave a notice indicating the attempt: I found a missed delivery slip on my door.

The term also applies to failed electronic transmissions or, in cricket, a ball the batsman fails to hit.
