Ever scheduled a FlagShip pick-up, only to see a cryptic “Pick-Up Attempt Failed” message? You’re not alone! This message can be confusing, especially when you’re on a tight deadline. But fear not, because this doesn’t mean your shipment is lost. It simply means there was a glitch in the communication with the courier.

Understanding the “Pick-Up Attempt Failed” Message

There are several reasons why this message might pop up:

  • Booking Too Close to Cut-Off: Did you schedule your pick-up right before the courier’s deadline? Every courier has a specific cut-off time for next-day pickups. Booking too close to that time can sometimes lead to missed notifications.
  • Incorrect Closing Time: Maybe you accidentally entered an early closing time for the courier you selected. Double-checking these details can save you a future headache.
  • Unexpected Delays: Sometimes, unforeseen circumstances like bad weather or a surge in shipments can force couriers to close pick-up services earlier than usual.
