Confirmed Arrival

UPS tracking parcel

What this status means

"Confirmed Arrival" is a UPS scan showing that your parcel has physically reached a UPS location and been registered there. It is a general checkpoint, not a final delivery step. It often appears around international shipments: most often right after "Cleared Customs", and sometimes after a "Departure" scan. The parcel is in the UPS network, being handled between stages.

Is my package delayed?

No, this message by itself is normal. It is a routine arrival scan and does not signal a problem. Only if the tracking stops updating for longer than the previous steps took is it worth looking into.

What happens next

Most often the next entry is "Arrived at Facility", meaning the parcel has been scanned into a UPS sorting site and will be routed onward. In about a quarter of cases the next entry is "Cleared Customs", which suggests the customs step is still being recorded around this point. After that, the parcel should continue toward your local delivery facility.

What you can do

  • Wait and keep checking the tracking history. A new scan should follow.
  • If the status stays the same for longer than the earlier steps took, contact UPS with your tracking number.
  • If UPS cannot help, contact the seller, and have your order details and tracking number ready.
  • Check whether any customs duties or taxes are due on your shipment, as these can hold up delivery if unpaid.
