Sometimes, a Return Request is submitted when the Recipient is unavailable — but what if the situation changes and they appear after you've already started the return process?
Here’s how to cancel a Return Request and complete the delivery as normal.
📝 When to Use This Feature
You might submit a Return Request if:
-
The Recipient is not home
-
There is no safe place to leave the parcel
-
You’re following proper Authority to Leave (ATL) guidelines or restrictions
In such cases, it’s correct to tap “Return Request” in the Runner App.
✅ But What If the Customer Shows Up?
If the Recipient returns while you're still at the location and is ready to receive the parcel after you've already submitted a return request — don’t worry!
You can still deliver the item by cancelling the return request.
📲 Steps to Cancel a Return Request
-
Open the Runner App
-
Tap “Cancel Return”
→ This will immediately cancel the return request -
Tap “Mark as Delivered”
→ This will complete the job and record the delivery as normal
✅ Always ensure the Recipient has received the item in hand before cancelling and completing the delivery.
⚠️ Important Notes
-
Only cancel a return if you're still at the delivery address and the Recipient is now available to accept the parcel.
-
Do not attempt to re-deliver later unless advised by GoPeople Support.
-
Cancelling a return incorrectly may affect your performance record — always use this feature responsibly.
