charges can depend on distance, parcel size, vehicle requirement, timing, waiting, access conditions and the number of stops. Use the actual locations and parcel details when requesting service. A blog article should not promise one fixed price for every route.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tracking_communication_and_proof\"><\/span>Tracking, communication and proof<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Good delivery communication is structured around status changes rather than repeated calls. The sender should know when collection is accepted, when the parcel is moving, whether an exception occurs and when the intended handover is completed. Proof of delivery supports customer service and business reconciliation, but it begins with accurate order data.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Important_control\"><\/span>Important control<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Never rely on memory or an informal message for COD reconciliation. Every collected amount should be attached to the correct order, acknowledged through the approved channel and reconciled promptly.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_a_delivery_cannot_be_completed\"><\/span>When a delivery cannot be completed<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>An unavailable recipient, incorrect address, rejected order or restricted building can prevent handover. The rider should pause and obtain instructions. Waiting, return or redelivery terms may apply. Sellers and senders should define these rules before dispatch instead of negotiating them after a failure.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_asked_questions\"><\/span>Frequently asked questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_change_the_destination_after_collection\"><\/span>Can I change the destination after collection?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Request the change through the approved service channel. A new destination affects the route, charge, security and recipient record, so the rider should not accept an informal redirect without confirmation.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_items_should_not_be_sent\"><\/span>What items should not be sent?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Do not send illegal, hazardous, leaking, unsealed or unsuitable items. Controlled medicine, oversized goods, high-value property and specialist freight may require additional authorization, packaging or a different vehicle.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Related_Dexa_delivery_guides\"><\/span>Related Dexa delivery guides<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dexa.co.ke\/blog\/same-day-delivery-nairobi\/\">Same-day delivery Nairobi<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/dexa.co.ke\/blog\/multiple-customer-deliveries-nairobi\/\">multiple customer deliveries<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/dexa.co.ke\/blog\/daily-business-dispatch-nairobi\/\">daily business dispatch<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/dexa.co.ke\/blog\/package-pickup-and-delivery-nairobi\/\">package pickup and delivery<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Prepare_your_Dexa_request\"><\/span>Prepare your Dexa request<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Have the parcel, pickup contact, destination, recipient and delivery instructions ready.
