I received someone else's order, what do I do?Updated 4 days ago
TL;DR: Don't open the parcel. Take a clear photo of the shipping label and flag it through the Koh order status flow. Koh will reach out to the actual recipient and arrange a replacement. As for the parcel in front of you, you can either keep it (Koh doesn't expect you to be out of pocket sorting our mistake) or drop it at any Australia Post outlet marked "return to sender" if you'd rather not have it.
What should I do first?
✓ Leave it sealed
Don't open the parcel, the contents belong to whoever's name is on the label.
✓ Photograph the label
Take a clear photo showing the tracking number, recipient name, and address. That's everything Koh needs to identify whose order it is.
How do I let Koh know?
Use the order status flow to flag it, that routes the message straight to our team with the right tags. Attach the photo of the label and a short note saying you received a parcel addressed to someone else.
Koh will use the label to identify the actual customer and arrange a replacement to their correct address.
What do I do with the parcel itself?
✓ Option 1: Keep it
Koh doesn't expect you to be out of pocket or inconvenienced sorting our mistake. The cost of arranging a return is usually higher than the parcel value.
✓ Option 2: Return to sender
If you'd rather not keep it, drop the unopened parcel at any Australia Post outlet marked "return to sender". AusPost returns it to our warehouse at no cost to you.
Order status flow, AusPost app, and the dropdown trick that solves most missing-item questions.
