What does delivered to agent for final delivery mean? #
USPS handles hundreds of pieces of mail and packages each day. There is always a possibility that the receiver won't be there to accept the package when it is delivered. The package may then be taken by an authorised person or a family member. Your tracking status will then read 'delivered to an agent for final delivery'.
But occasionally the package is delivered to the agent even though it wasn't to the intended receiver or a designated recipient. This might be perplexing. You should be aware that anyone who receives letters or packages on your behalf is acting as your agent. Concierge, front desk, and parcel locker services are also examples of "Agents" who can accept and sign for USPS packages on behalf of others.
