Hi, my package tried to deliver my office last Saturday 17-Sep but it was vacant because no one was on office Saturday.

Whenever I have experience like this situation, USPS always deliver once more after several days and I didnt any problem so far. But at this time it shows as "Return to sender" and I don't understand what the situation is.

Does it mean that send back to sender which is located in UK?! Or they may try re-deliver once more? What am I supposed to do to fix this problem?

You could contact the post office and see if you can find out why it happened.

I have had some messages before that read similar to yours and were delivered on the next Monday. Possibly the postal courier selected the wrong reason for not delivering. (not sure)

Either way i would contact the seller and the Post Office immediately.

You could check with your PO to be sure, but I'm thinking this is more likely just a button-pushing error by the carrier. Your office address isn't really vacant and the carrier probably knows that, but if he can't make the delivery on Saturday (and presumably can't leave a pickup notice for the same reason), he will deliver it on Monday.

You will probably see some kind of tracking update today that will tell you what's really going on, and I think the most likely outcome will be delivery today.

Has it occurred to you that you might want to find a better delivery address than that of a business that's not open on weekends?

Instead of posting here, you needed to immediately contact your PO the minute they opened today. Have you done that?

Don't know if it's applicable here but there used to be scams of shipping to vacant properties. I've had

'Unable to deliver - business closed' as tracking but USPS tries again in a couple days, successfully. Oddly enough it's been to Freight Forwarding services on Saturdays. Vacant address sounds different. Did you google the address to see if it's legitimate?
