A train derailment has delayed delivery. We're adjusting plans to deliver your package as quickly as possible

UPS tracking parcel

What this status means

UPS is telling you that a train derailment has disrupted a rail leg of your parcel's route. The parcel is somewhere between UPS facilities and is moving by the network, but the transport it was planned on is blocked or slowed. UPS is rerouting it, which is why the message says it is adjusting plans.

Is my package delayed?

Yes, this message is an exception. It is a delay notice, not a sign that the parcel is lost or damaged. The derailment affects the route, not your parcel in particular. Delivery will probably be later than first planned, but UPS does not give a new date in this message.

What happens next

The parcel usually continues through normal facility scans. In about half of cases the next update is another "Arrived at Facility" entry marked as "On the Way", and in about a third it is a plain "Arrived at Facility". A smaller share show "Departed from Facility". Once the parcel reaches a facility and is sorted onto a new route, tracking should return to the normal pattern.

What you can do

  • Wait and keep checking your tracking history. New facility scans mean the parcel is moving again.
  • Do not change the delivery address or arrange a redelivery because of this message alone.
  • If the history stops updating for longer than the previous steps took, contact UPS with your tracking number.
  • If the parcel is time-sensitive, contact the seller too, and have your order details and tracking number ready.
