My parcel shipped via La Poste is taking a long time to arrive, what should I do?
When your parcel is shipped via La Poste, a longer-than-expected delay can sometimes occur.
1. Check the parcel tracking
Start by checking the La Poste tracking number, accessible:
- from the transaction screen in the app.
The tracking allows you to see:
- where the parcel is,
- if it is still in transit,
- or if it has encountered a delay.
2. Understand the possible causes of a delay
A delay can be caused by:
- logistical overload,
- weather conditions,
- public holidays,
- isolated incidents within La Poste's network.
In such cases, the tracking may remain unchanged for a few days without the parcel being lost.
3. If the tracking stops updating
If the tracking remains stuck for an unusually long time and the parcel is no longer progressing:
- the buyer or seller can click on "Report a problem" from the transaction screen,
- this opens a form for Cyclem support.
Cyclem will then:
- contact La Poste,
- conduct an investigation,
- and get back to you with clear information or a decision from La Poste.
Key points to remember
✔ Always check the tracking from the transaction
✔ Delays may be temporary
✔ Do not confirm receipt until the parcel has arrived
✔ Report a problem only if the tracking stops updating
