A late flight has caused a delay. Your package will be delayed by one business day
UPS tracking parcelWhat this status means
UPS moves many parcels by air between its facilities. A flight carrying your package arrived late, so the parcel missed its planned connection. The package is still within the UPS network, most likely at or between sorting facilities. The message itself says the delivery will move back by one business day.
Is my package delayed?
Yes, this message is a delay notice, but a small and common one. UPS names the cause (a late flight) and states the shift: one business day. It is an exception to the normal schedule, not a sign that the parcel is lost or damaged. The delivery date shown in your tracking may change to reflect it.
What happens next
The parcel usually continues through the network. Most often the next scan is "Departed from Facility" (about 43% of cases), followed by "Arrived at Facility" (about 31%). In a few cases another delay notice follows, for example because of weather. Once the parcel is moving again, scans should appear as normal.
What you can do
- Wait and keep checking the tracking history for new scans and an updated delivery date.
- If the parcel shows no new scan for longer than usual, or the delivery date passes, contact UPS.
- If you ordered from an online shop, ask the seller to open an inquiry with UPS.
- Have your tracking number and order details ready when you get in touch.
