Delivery instructions have been provided by the receiver

UPS tracking parcel

What this status means

UPS has recorded a delivery instruction for your parcel, such as leaving it at the door, with a neighbour, or at an access point. It was set by the receiver, usually through a UPS delivery-choice setting or a note given to the driver. It is an administrative note, not a movement scan, so the parcel can be at any stage of its journey.

Is my package delayed?

This message by itself is normal and does not signal a problem. It often appears several times in the same history, and it is also seen after a missed delivery attempt, when instructions are updated for the next try. Check the scans around it. A delay shows up as a long gap with no new movement, not as this line.

What happens next

The parcel carries on through the network. The most common next steps are "Departed from Facility", "Arrived at Facility" or "Processing at UPS Facility". Sometimes the same instruction line repeats. In a small share of cases a missed delivery follows, and UPS plans another attempt on the next business day.

What you can do

  • Wait and keep checking for new scans.
  • If you did not set any instructions, check whether the seller, a household member or a neighbour did.
  • If the instructions are wrong, change them with UPS before the delivery attempt.
  • If the parcel stops moving for longer than usual, contact UPS, or the seller if you ordered online. Have your tracking number and order details ready.
