UPS tracking parcel

What this status means

UPS is holding the parcel on purpose until a delivery date that was requested for it. That date may have been chosen by the sender, or by the recipient through a delivery change. The parcel is in UPS's network, usually at a facility, and is waiting rather than moving.

Is my package delayed?

By itself, this message is normal and not a sign of a problem. The wait is intentional, so it only counts as a delay if you did not ask for a later date. If the parcel stays on this message after the requested date has passed, treat it as an exception.

What happens next

  • Most often the parcel is scanned again with "Processing at UPS Facility" as it moves on toward delivery.
  • Sometimes a different notice follows. One example is a note that the company or receiver name is incorrect, which can hold up delivery while UPS updates the details.
  • On the requested date, the parcel should go out for delivery.

What you can do

  • Check whether you or the seller requested a specific delivery date, and wait until then.
  • Make sure the name and address on the order are correct and complete.
  • If the date has passed with no update, or you never asked for a later date, contact UPS first, then the seller.
  • Have your tracking number and order details ready when you do.
