Amazon may mark a package as delivered when it actually isn’t due to early scan by the carrier, delivery to a neighbor, or being placed in a hidden location. Wait 48 hours, check with neighbors, and look around your property. If it still doesn’t show up, contact Amazon customer service for further assistance.
