Late Shipment Exception Agent

Catch late and stuck orders early and keep buyers informed

Late Shipment Exception Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

Late shipments count against seller performance and lead to refunds and bad reviews. Every day this agent pulls unshipped orders and tracking for shipped ones. For unshipped orders it compares the ship-by date with today and alerts the seller. For shipped orders it flags parcels with no scan for 3 days or past the delivery estimate. Orders under a marketplace weather delay notice are recorded so they do not count against the seller. It drafts buyer updates and opens carrier inquiries for stuck parcels. It then rechecks tracking daily until each parcel moves or the carrier confirms loss. At 7 days stuck it treats the parcel as likely lost and proposes a reshipment. The seller approves buyer messages and any reshipment. Edge case: weather-delay orders are marked so they are not counted as the seller's fault.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

An example run

What happensOn June 10, five parcels had no scan for 3 days. The agent drafted buyer updates and opened carrier inquiries. Two moved the next day. Three stayed stuck, so the daily check kept failing. At day 7 the agent proposed reshipping two whose buyers had event dates, and the seller approved. The third was confirmed lost and refunded.
