UPS tracking parcel

What this status means

UPS is telling you that something outside its control, such as severe weather, a transport disruption or a late connection, has held your parcel up. The parcel is still in the UPS network, usually at or between sorting facilities. It has not been lost, and the message does not mean delivery has failed. UPS is re-planning the route and will set a new delivery plan.

Is my package delayed?

Yes, this message is a delay notice, so it is an exception to the normal flow. It is not usually a sign of a serious problem. The parcel most often moves on afterwards, and the next scan is typically an arrival or departure at a facility. Nothing is guaranteed, and the delay may last longer than the earlier steps did.

What happens next

  • Most often (about half of cases) the next scan is "Arrived at Facility", and about a quarter of the time it is the "On the Way" version of that arrival.
  • In roughly one case in six the parcel is scanned as departing a facility.
  • Occasionally the same delay message appears again while UPS keeps adjusting its plans.

What you can do

  • Wait and check the tracking history again on the next business day, as UPS suggests.
  • If the delay message repeats and the parcel does not move for longer than you would expect, contact UPS with your tracking number.
  • If the parcel is time-sensitive or the delay keeps growing, contact the seller too. Have your order details and tracking number ready.
