Hello,

A package I was hauling was destroyed and I contacted the issuer who is trusted and worked out a deal with him. I would buy back his items and trade them to him and he would mark the contract as complete so I dont have to have a "fail" on my contract record. We traded and when he went to mark it as complete he said there was no option to. He said there was a delete option which when he clicked it, it did not work because the contract was still outstanding. Does he have to wait for the time on the contract to run out to mark it as complete or delete it, and if he deletes it does it show up on my contract history and public files?

Well.. I don't quite remember if you can manually set it to complete at all, I might doubt it :/ But at least the contract doesn't fail until he sets it to fail himself after the expiration time. Of course that can't really work in the longer wrong if the courier pack is broken and never can be delivered.
I just tried hitting delete on a courier contract that was accepted and got this message "You cannot perform this action on a contract that is not Outstanding."
So yeah not sure you can get out of that one without a fail in the history logs.. Hope you find a way, but otherwise it's not a huge disaster if the rest of what you do gets finished. I mean everyone gets crapped in EVE from time to time.

I don't believe you can mark a courier contract as fulfilled.

You can only mark one as failed, after the allotted time has expired.

Tau is correct. Which is why the wise play in this situation is to set up a private contract with the new items at a price of the collateral (that the issuer is going to get), manually fail the contract, and hope they accept it.

As it stands, the contract issuer has the stuff you traded him and will have the collateral you'll forfeit when time's up. All you can do is hope he's nice and gives you something.
