The receiver chose to keep the package

UPS tracking parcel

What this status means

UPS records this message when the person receiving the parcel has used a delivery option to keep it with UPS instead of having it brought to the door. It is a recipient-chosen hold, not a refusal or a return. The parcel is still in the UPS network, usually in a UPS facility or on a UPS vehicle, while the new delivery choice is processed.

Is my package delayed?

Not by this message alone. It is a normal step when a delivery preference has been changed, and it is not an exception or a sign of damage or loss. Because the delivery plan has changed, the parcel will not arrive at your door as first planned.

What happens next

The next update is almost always that the request to deliver the parcel to a UPS Access Point is pending. Access Points are local partner locations, such as shops, where parcels can be collected. After that, the parcel should be moved to the chosen location and marked as ready for pickup.

What you can do

  • Keep checking the tracking history for the Access Point update and any pickup notice.
  • If you did not choose to keep the parcel, contact UPS soon with your tracking number, as someone else may have changed the delivery.
  • When it is ready, bring photo ID and the tracking number or pickup notice to the location.
  • If the status stays the same for longer than the previous steps, contact UPS, or the seller if you need help with the order.
