UPS

Delivery will be delayed by one business day

UPS tracking parcel

What this status means

UPS has pushed back the expected delivery date of your parcel by one business day. The parcel is still moving through the UPS network, usually between facilities or being sorted. It has not been lost or returned. The message often appears right after a scan at a facility, and sometimes after "Out For Delivery Today", when the driver could not complete the route.

Is my package delayed?

Yes, slightly. UPS is telling you the delivery will come one business day later than first planned. That is a minor exception, not a sign of a serious problem. The message often repeats or appears with "On the Way" in front of it, and it does not mean the delay has grown.

What happens next

Most often the parcel continues through the network with ordinary scans:

  • "Departed from Facility" (about one third of cases, more with "On the Way" in front)
  • "Arrived at Facility"
  • "Processing at UPS Facility"

After that, the parcel should go out for delivery with an updated date.

What you can do

  • Wait and check the tracking history for new scans and an updated delivery date.
  • Make sure someone can receive the parcel on the new date, and check that the delivery address is correct.
  • If the date passes with no delivery, or the history stops updating for longer than usual, contact UPS.
  • Have your tracking number and order details ready, or ask the seller to raise it with UPS.
