First register the issue, then record the delay or misdelivery details.

Step 2

Cause review

Classify the cause and decide whether re-delivery is needed.

Step 3

Response coordination

Arrange the carrier response and assign the owner.

Step 4

Closure review

Close the case after the fix and keep the history for reporting.
