Is it illegal for the courier company to return the courier privately?

The courier will leave the courier in the property company for collection with the consent of the recipient and the property company. If the courier loses the courier, the property company shall be liable for compensation. If the courier leaves the courier in the property company without the consent of the recipient and the property company, the courier company will be liable for compensation. The courier was returned for two reasons. First, because the recipient can't be contacted at the time of delivery, it will be returned to the sender if the recipient can't be contacted within 3 days. Second, because the courier has been damaged before it is delivered to the recipient, the courier outlet will contact the sender to handle it, resend it or ask the buyer to return the photos. Express delivery is returned, which means that the express delivery begins to return after it reaches its destination. The main reason is that the recipient refuses or can't contact the recipient, and the courier company can't deliver it. Express delivery, also known as express delivery or express delivery, refers to a new mode of transportation in which logistics enterprises (including freight forwarders) deliver documents or packages entrusted by users from the sender to the recipient quickly and safely through their own independent networks or in the form of joint ventures (i.e. networking). Express returns are usually found at the email address on the parcel. In addition, if the contact person on the package cannot be contacted by telephone, it will be regarded as a difficult problem and submitted to the sender's sending company.

This kind of behavior is a breach of contract and an illegal act. The courier company has no right to return the courier, which violates consumers' right to know and property safety. Consumers can negotiate with the courier company or bring a lawsuit to the court, asking the courier company to bear the liability for compensation.

Legal Analysis: If Article 238 of the Civil Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) infringes on property rights and causes damage to the obligee, the obligee may claim damages or bear other civil liabilities according to law.
