What Happens If I Am Not Home When My Parcel Is Delivered? If a delivery is made when you are not home, the parcel is taken to your local post office to await collection. You are usually left a note from the delivery driver to advise which local post office it was taken to but if you are unsure you can track your parcel by logging in at www.thepartypeople.com.au/accounts/login. (the post office will send you a note if the parcel is unclaimed and if it remains unclaimed for 3 consecutive weeks they send it back to us. If this happens we will not be able to refund the postage on your order. You may specify for the post man to leave the parcel somewhere for you, please note that if you request us to do this and the parcel goes missing after the post office advises they have delivered it, we do not take responsibility for the lost parcel.
