TCS status

TCS “Delivery Rescheduled”: what it means

DR Attempt failed

TCS DR Delivery Rescheduled means TCS has moved the delivery to another day. It usually follows a visit that did not work. TCS has put the parcel on a later run itself, so it is not waiting for your instruction.

The status does not say who asked for the new day, the customer or a rider who ran out of time. ShipOps shows the parcel as attempted, not in Needs attention.

It is not the same as Scheduled for the next delivery cycle, which is TCS's midnight note and not a visit. DR follows a real outcome. Make sure the customer knows the new day and will answer the rider's call.

What to do now

Your move TCS has moved the attempt. Nothing to send; confirm the customer will be in.
Retry or return TCS takes a retry or return instruction only while the parcel is in its review window. ShipOps raises the parcel when that window opens and files the instruction from the order.
Attempts TCS tries 3 times before it starts a return.

How ShipOps reads it

Attempt failed A delivery failed, the courier still has it. The parcel goes into the Action Inbox with the courier's reason in plain words. The useful move is to reach the customer before the next attempt; ShipOps puts the call and WhatsApp buttons on the row and counts the attempts made so far.

ShipOps shows every courier's parcels in the same few plain states, so your team learns one set of words instead of one per courier. All TCS statuses →
