What can go wrong
| Message | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Relay already claimed — Another rider has taken this relay. | Someone accepted first. Nothing to do. |
| Code did not match — Check the handoff code and try again. | Check the code. Repeated wrong codes are blocked for a while and recorded. |
| This code has expired. | Ask the other rider to show a new code. |
| Nobody accepts | IDM widens the search once. If still nobody accepts, your company and Intellisol are alerted and the delivery is marked as an exception. Keep the item until they contact you. |
Relays are only between riders of the same delivery company. A rider carrying several deliveries on one route (a batch) hands over the whole route or none of it.
