UPS tracking parcel

What this status means

The UPS driver has the parcel on the vehicle and tried to deliver it, but could not get into the building or area. This is typically a locked gate, a door-code entrance, a concierge desk or a restricted site. UPS is now trying to arrange the access the driver needs. The parcel is still with the local delivery team, not lost.

Is my package delayed?

This message is an exception, not a normal step. It does not mean a problem on its own, but delivery has not gone as planned that day. The next scans vary. The parcel often goes back to a UPS facility for processing, the same message repeats, or the status changes to a failed delivery attempt. In some cases the receiver's delivery instructions appear next.

What happens next

  • Most often, the parcel goes back to a UPS facility ("Processing at UPS Facility", about one in five cases) or the same message repeats.
  • In about one in six cases, UPS records that the driver cannot complete delivery.
  • In some cases, delivery instructions you provided are added, and UPS tries again.

What you can do

  • Wait and keep checking the tracking history for a new scan.
  • Tell your building manager, concierge or neighbours to expect a UPS driver, and check whether the entry code or gate access is working.
  • Give UPS delivery instructions, such as an access code or a safe place to leave the parcel, if the option is offered.
  • If the status does not change or the delivery attempt fails again, contact UPS or the seller. Have your tracking number, order details and full delivery address ready.
