UPS

The receiver is on vacation / Your delivery will be rescheduled

UPS tracking parcel

What this status means

UPS tried to deliver, or planned to deliver, and was told the recipient is away on vacation. Because of that, the delivery has been moved to a later date. The parcel is still in UPS's network, usually at a local facility or on a delivery vehicle, and has not been lost or returned.

Is my package delayed?

This message is an exception, though not a serious one. It means the delivery will not happen on the original date. The delay is deliberate and follows a vacation notice, so it does not point to damage or loss. The new delivery date may be longer than you expected if the notice covers a long absence.

What happens next

UPS will usually make a new delivery attempt once the rescheduled date arrives, and the tracking history should then show the parcel going out for delivery again. If the hold is released early or the date changes, the history will update.

What you can do

  • If you are not away, keep checking the tracking. The notice may have been entered by mistake or for a different address.
  • If you are away, make sure someone can receive the parcel when it comes back, or arrange a different delivery option with UPS.
  • If the date passes with no new attempt, or the vacation notice is wrong, contact UPS with your tracking number and delivery address.
  • If the parcel is a purchase, tell the seller if the problem continues. Have your order details ready.
