How to Cancel a Return Request in the Runner App

2 min. readlast update: 04.08.2026

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

  1. Open the Runner App

  2. Tap “Cancel Return”
    → This will immediately cancel the return request


⚠️ 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.
