A very simple concept but can't find the term for the note the postman leaves in your letterbox in your absence, telling you to collect it at the post office. Notification?

notice of parcel on hold
Just a suggestion on how to express the idea behind it from the definition,
This seems to a be a bit different from the regular "avis de passage" where they usually will try to deliver the next day, they will deliver it directly to a specified location.
It obviously depends of the country and the courier company.
In case of unsuccessful delivery attempt due to the recipient’s absence at the delivery location.
The notice (or card) of parcel on hold will tell you whether:
-the parcel has been taken to your local Post Office branch.
-the parcel has been taken to a parcel shop
-the parcel has been taken to service provider’s depot.

day*, instead here they will deliverd it directly to a specified location in case of absence.

: A parcel being hed "en instance" is held in a particular place (and for a limited time only). This suggestion conveys that.

notice of attempted delivery
Or if it's the heading of the document, you could be more informal and say 'Sorry we missed you'.

: An "avis de passage" is generic. To convey "mise en instance", which means the parcel is being held, then it's too general. "On hold" needs to be in there somewhere.

I don't understand what you mean by "on hold". They attempted to deliver it, but no one was home.
