SpeedX Says “Delivered” But Package Not Received — What to Do
A step-by-step guide based on SpeedX’s official support documentation and real customer experiences — so you know exactly what to do and in what order.
Few things are more frustrating than watching your tracking update to “Delivered,” walking to your front door, and finding nothing there. A SpeedX “Delivered” status with no package in sight is one of the most commonly reported delivery issues — and fortunately, there’s a clear process for resolving it.
Here’s exactly what to do, in the right order, without wasting time on steps that won’t help.
Before You Contact Anyone: Check These Spots First
SpeedX’s official support documentation is explicit on this point — their drivers regularly leave packages in locations other than directly in front of your main door, particularly when they’re trying to protect a package from weather, theft, or visibility from the street.
SpeedX recommends checking the following areas as their driver may have placed your shipment in a safer location: your front or back porch, your mailroom and/or mailbox, your garage or side of house, and any area that may be sheltered from potential weather hazards.
They also recommend checking with others in your house or building to see if they may have received it.
Run through this checklist before doing anything else:
- Front door, back door, side entrance
- Porch, stoop, or covered entryway
- Garage door or beside garage
- Mailbox or parcel locker (especially in apartment buildings)
- Building mailroom or reception desk
- With a neighbor, housemate, or building super
- Inside any gated area or behind a gate post
This sounds obvious, but a significant number of “delivered but missing” reports resolve at this stage — the package was there, just not where the shopper expected it.
Step 1: Check the Proof-of-Delivery Photo
SpeedX takes a photo at the point of delivery for most residential shipments. This photo is often the fastest way to understand what happened.
To find it: go to speedx.io, enter your tracking number, and look for a delivery photo attached to the “Delivered” scan. The photo typically shows where the package was left.
Look carefully at the photo:
If it shows your property — note exactly where the package was placed. Sometimes the photo reveals the package was left somewhere you haven’t checked yet (behind a planter, under a mat, against a wall not visible from the main entrance).
If it shows a different property — this is a misdelivery, not just a missing package. Screenshot the photo immediately. This is your primary evidence. A different door, different house number, or clearly wrong address in the photo means your package was delivered to the wrong location. Follow the steps in our separate guide on wrong-address deliveries, and prioritize contacting your retailer.
If there’s no photo — some deliveries don’t generate photos. Proceed to the next steps without it.
Step 2: Wait 24 Hours Before Escalating
This may feel counterintuitive, but it’s genuinely worth doing. SpeedX users often report that packages marked as delivered show up within 24 hours of the “Delivered” scan, particularly when a driver scanned the package as delivered moments before completing the drop-off — a timing gap that’s common across all last-mile carriers.
Additionally, in apartment buildings and multi-unit properties, packages sometimes sit at a reception desk or in a communal mailroom for hours before anyone notices. If you live in a building with a front desk or concierge, confirm with them directly — don’t just check the mailroom yourself.
Step 3: Contact SpeedX Through the Official Support Channel
SpeedX officially categorizes this as a “DNR” — Delivered Not Received — situation. If you are still unable to locate your package, their guidance is to reach out to your merchant who should be able to assist.
However, contacting SpeedX directly as well is still worth doing in parallel. Their official support channel is Miles, their chatbot, available through the blue messaging icon at speedx.io — open 8am to 8pm ET daily.
When you contact SpeedX, have ready:
- Your SPX tracking number
- The delivery date shown in tracking
- A description of what you ordered and approximately what it looks like
- The proof-of-delivery photo if it shows the wrong location
SpeedX can check the driver’s delivery record, GPS data from the delivery attempt, and the proof-of-delivery photo on their end — which may have more detail than the version visible in your tracking page.
Step 4: Contact Your Retailer — This Is Often Faster
This is the step most people delay, assuming they need to exhaust every option with SpeedX first. That’s a mistake. SpeedX’s own official support page states that if you are unable to locate your package, you should reach out to your merchant who should be able to assist.
Your retailer — SHEIN, Temu, AliExpress, or whoever you ordered from — has buyer protection that covers DNR situations. They also have a direct business relationship with SpeedX that gives them more leverage to investigate than you have as an individual consumer.
For SHEIN: Open the app → “Me” → “Orders” → select your order → “Contact Customer Service.” Report the package as undelivered despite the “Delivered” status.
For Temu: Open the app → “Your Orders” → select the order → “Get Help.” Temu’s buyer protection typically offers a refund or replacement for DNR cases.
For AliExpress: Go to “My Orders” → select the order → “Open Dispute.” Choose “I didn’t receive my order” as the dispute reason. Do this before your buyer protection period expires.
When you contact your retailer, mention:
- That tracking shows “Delivered” but the package was not received
- Whether the proof-of-delivery photo matches your address or not
- That you’ve already checked all possible delivery locations
Most retailers will open a replacement or refund without requiring you to formally resolve the SpeedX claim first.
Step 5: Consider Whether the Package Was Stolen
If the proof-of-delivery photo shows your property and the package clearly was placed there, but it’s now gone, theft is a realistic possibility. Real customer experiences confirm this scenario: one shopper found a proof-of-delivery photo showing their house and the package on the porch, but the package was gone when they arrived home — consistent with porch theft occurring after delivery.
In this case:
- Check if any neighbors have security cameras that might have captured the theft
- File a police report if the package value justifies it — some retailers require a police report number to process high-value DNR claims
- Contact your retailer with the police report number to support your replacement or refund request
- Check your homeowner’s or renter’s insurance — some policies cover package theft above a certain value
The Phishing Warning You Need to Know About
Users often receive fake delivery alerts and fraudulent package notifications via text messages. If you get messages from ‘SpeedX’ about undeliverable packages, do not click links or call unknown numbers. These are likely phishing attempts exploiting invalid address claims.
If you receive a text message claiming your SpeedX package couldn’t be delivered and asking you to click a link or provide personal information, ignore it. SpeedX’s real contact channel is through their official website (speedx.io) — not unsolicited text messages with links.
What SpeedX’s Liability Actually Covers
It’s worth being honest about what to expect from SpeedX directly. As covered in their Terms and Conditions, SpeedX’s liability as a carrier is limited — compensation is capped at the wholesale product value up to $30 per package for verified lost or misdelivered shipments, and claims can only be filed by the merchant, not the individual consumer.
This is why going through your retailer’s buyer protection is almost always the faster, more effective path for DNR resolution. Retailers like SHEIN and Temu typically offer full replacement or refund under their buyer protection policies, regardless of what SpeedX’s carrier claim process determines.
Step-by-Step Summary
| Step | Action | When to Do It |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Check all possible delivery locations thoroughly | Immediately |
| 2 | Check the proof-of-delivery photo | Immediately |
| 3 | Wait up to 24 hours | Before escalating |
| 4 | Contact SpeedX via Miles chatbot | After 24 hours |
| 5 | Contact your retailer for replacement/refund | Simultaneously with Step 4 |
| 6 | File police report if theft is suspected | If photo confirms delivery to your property |
| 7 | Escalate with retailer using police report | For high-value items |
Prevention for Future Orders
A few things reduce your risk of DNR situations going forward:
Add delivery instructions through SpeedX. Before your next delivery, contact SpeedX via Miles to add specific drop-off instructions — “leave inside gate,” “place behind planter,” or “ring doorbell and wait.” Specific instructions reduce ambiguous deliveries.
Enable SMS tracking notifications. Sign up for delivery alerts through SpeedX’s tracking portal so you know the moment a delivery is completed and can retrieve it quickly.
Consider a secure parcel box. If porch theft is common in your area, a lockable parcel box gives drivers a secure drop-off location and protects packages when you’re not home.
