Can I cancel a shipment I already requested?

Cancellation depends on the processing stage; contact support promptly for assistance. If the item has already been deposited, cancellation is generally not possible.

Understanding the Cancellation Process for Postclic & Recommandé Shipments

When you request a shipment through our service, the possibility of cancellation hinges on the current stage of processing. It is essential to act quickly and contact support as soon as possible to explore your options. Once the shipment has been deposited at the postal service, cancellation becomes significantly more complex and often unfeasible.

Stages of Shipment Processing and Cancellation Feasibility

Before Deposit at the Post Office

If your shipment has not yet been deposited at the postal service, you have a better chance to cancel or modify your request. In this early stage, the processing is still within our platform, allowing support to assist you in stopping or altering the shipment.

After Deposit at the Post Office

Once the shipment has been deposited at the postal service, cancellation becomes much more difficult. At this point, the package is in transit or has been processed by the postal system, making it generally impossible to cancel through our platform. You may need to contact the postal service directly for further assistance.

How to Contact Support Quickly

To maximize your chances of cancellation, it is crucial to reach out to our support team without delay. You can do so via the support contact options available on your account or through the help section of the website. When contacting support, provide detailed information about your shipment, including order number, date, and destination, to facilitate quick assistance.

Practical Steps for Attempting Cancellation

  1. Log into your account and navigate to your shipment history.
  2. Identify the shipment you wish to cancel.
  3. Check the current status of the shipment (pending, in process, deposited).
  4. If the shipment is still pending or in process, contact support immediately to request cancellation.
  5. If the shipment has already been deposited, inquire about possible options, though cancellation may not be feasible.

Important Considerations and Limitations

  • Cancellation is not guaranteed, especially once the shipment has been deposited at the postal service.
  • Acting quickly increases the likelihood of success.
  • Support can provide guidance, but cannot promise cancellation once the shipment is in transit.
  • Always double-check the status of your shipment before requesting cancellation.
