Missed delivery and redelivery call

Before the call

๐Ÿ’ก What to know before you call

For Japan Post, you can book a redelivery any time for free online, or through the 24-hour automated phone line at 0800-998-8000 (free from a landline) or 0570-046-645 from a mobile (paid). Have the slip ready: the tracking number is the 6-digit or 11โ€“13-digit number in the red box. The online form only books delivery to the slip's address; for pickup at a counter or another place, call the call center at 0570-046-666 (8:00โ€“21:00 every day) or your local post office. Free time windows for ใ‚†ใ† are , 12โ€“14, 14โ€“16, 16โ€“18, 18โ€“20, and 19โ€“21. How late you can still book a same-day redelivery depends on your local post office. Items are held for 7 days from the day after the first attempt, then sent back to the sender.
