The sender requested that we hold this package

UPS tracking parcel

What this status means

The person or business that sent the parcel has asked UPS to stop it from moving on for now. The parcel is in UPS's care, usually at a UPS facility, and it is not being delivered to your door at the moment. This line often appears after a change of address or a redirect request from the sender.

Is my package delayed?

This message is an exception, not a routine scan. It does not mean the parcel is lost or damaged, but delivery is paused until the sender's request is settled. Expect the journey to take longer than the earlier steps did.

What happens next

  • The parcel may go back into transit through a UPS facility, often to a new address.
  • It may be sent to a UPS Access Point location, where it waits for you to collect it.

Each of these follows in about half of cases.

What you can do

  • Keep checking the tracking history for a new scan.
  • If nothing changes for longer than you would expect, ask the seller whether they requested the hold or a change of address.
  • If the seller cannot explain it, contact UPS with your tracking number and order details.
  • If the parcel goes to an Access Point, bring photo ID and watch for the pickup deadline.
