Air Traffic Control resulted in a delay. We will update the delivery date as soon as possible

UPS tracking parcel

What this status means

UPS is saying that air traffic control restrictions held up the flight carrying your parcel, or a flight it was due to be loaded onto. The parcel is somewhere in UPS's air and ground network, usually at a facility or on a plane, and not lost. The delivery date shown earlier may no longer be correct, and UPS has not yet set a new one.

Is my package delayed?

Yes, this message is an exception and means a delay has already happened. It is a weather- or airspace-related hold-up, not a sign of damage or a lost parcel. The delay may be longer than usual, but the message alone does not tell you how long.

What happens next

The parcel normally carries on through the network. Afterwards it most often shows either "Arrived at Facility" or "Departed from Facility", about equally often. Once UPS has a new estimate, the delivery date in your tracking should be updated.

What you can do

  • Wait and keep checking your tracking. The date should change by itself.
  • If the parcel shows no new movement for longer than the previous steps took, contact UPS.
  • If the parcel is time-sensitive or the date passes with no update, contact the seller too.
  • Have your tracking number and order details ready.
