Package Not Delivered? Here’s How to Ensure Couriers Always Find Your Mailbox

"We couldn't find your address"

You've tracked the package the entire way. It's out with the courier. And then you receive the message: delivery failed — recipient could not be found.

It happens more often than you’d think. New developments aren't always correctly placed in GPS systems. Back entrances, rear houses, and shared staircases can cause confusion. Plus, a house number on a residential street doesn’t tell the courier where the actual mailbox or front door is. The result? Delayed packages, returned shipments, and frustration on both ends.

A smart QR label on your mailbox takes away the guesswork.

What is a QR mailbox label?

It’s a small, weatherproof label that you attach to your mailbox. The label features a QR code. When a courier or guest scans it with their phone, they see:

Your mailbox on a map — the exact location, not just a house number.
Any delivery instructions you’ve provided ("Leave packages behind the door").
A button to send you a message if they have any doubts.

And the moment the code is scanned, you receive a notification. No app is needed — for you or the courier.

How it works

Attach the label to your mailbox and scan it yourself once to activate it.
Find your address and place a pin exactly where your mailbox is located on the map.
Couriers and guests scan the code, view the map, and find their way — every time.
You get notified, and with Home Premium, the courier can even leave proof of delivery.

Setting it up takes just two minutes, and after that, it manages itself.

Why it works better than a house number

A house number tells a GPS which building to point to — but not where the entrance is, which stairway is the right one, or where the package can be left safely. A map pin and an instruction do that.

| | Only house number | QR mailbox label | |---|---|---| | Exact location | No — just the building | Yes — pin on the map | | Delivery instructions | No | Yes, your own | | You get notified | No | Yes, with each scan | | Language | One only | 100 languages automatically | | Proof of delivery | No | Yes (with Premium) |

Not just for packages

A QR label on your mailbox helps in many everyday situations:

Guests and tradespeople find their way without needing to call and ask.
Rentals and Airbnb allow for easy check-ins — guests find the property themselves.
Relatives and home care providers can locate an elderly family member easily.
Food and grocery deliveries arrive at the right spot on the first try.

All of this without your address being publicly visible — only the person physically at the mailbox who scans can see the location.

Built-in Privacy
